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

Metalens has shown its significantly ultra-light and ultra-thin features. However, large-aperture achromatic metalens is constrained by both maximum dispersion range and computational memory. Here, we propose a fully device optimizing framework that engineers phase dispersion and amplitude transmittance to create centimeter-size achromatic metalens operating in long-wave infrared regime (8-12 μm). Via wrapping group delay within a defined range and optimizing dispersion phase of desired wavelengths, chromatic aberrations can be effectively corrected. We verify our design by characterizing all-silicon 3.18-cm-diameter and 6.36-cm-diameter LWIR achromatic metalenses. Diffraction-limited tight-focusing can be achieved, and the normalized focal length shift is less than 3.3 × 10
