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

Nonlinear metasurfaces have been extensively studied, offering new capabilities to generate and control light. Usually, nonlinear metasurfaces are fabricated on planar substrates where the entire functionality is encoded in the metasurface design. Here, we study a new route to nonlinear metasurface-based optics by coating linear refractive elements with conformable nonlinear metasurface-skin, resulting in hybrid nonlinear refractive elements. We specifically demonstrate a hybrid nonlinear meta-lens composed of a plano-convex linear refractive lens coated with a 400 nm thick nonlinear metasurface membrane. We show that the resulting hybrid element produces light at the second harmonic frequency and focuses it according to the hybrid linear-nonlinear optical functionality. We study the spectral and polarization responses of the hybrid element and demonstrate its ability to generate an image at the second harmonic wavelength. We believe that this demonstration opens the door to a new family of hybrid nonlinear refractive elements for controlling light in new applications.
