1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Circular dichroism - the spin-selective absorption of light - finds diverse applications in medicine, antennas and microwave devices. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an ultrathin electronically reconfigurable chiral metasurface which exploits the intrinsic symmetries of the meta-molecule to realize any spin absorption based on the handedness of the chirality chosen. We construct the left-chiral and right-chiral states by reconfiguring the meta-molecule into two enantiomeric states, which achieve strong circular dichroism exceeding 82 % at the design frequency of 9.5 GHz. The meta-molecule can be switched into a third (non-chiral) state which is isotropic and transparent. The achieved circular dichroism characteristics remain insensitive to incidence angles up to ±45°. The proposed reconfigurable chiral metasurface achieves left- and right- circular dichroism at the same frequency and with high efficiency, and is an attractive candidate for wide-ranging practical applications in imaging, wireless communication and medicine.
