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

Surface-enhanced spectroscopy technology based on metamaterials has flourished in recent years, and the use of artificially designed subwavelength structures can effectively regulate light waves and electromagnetic fields, making it a valuable platform for sensing applications. With the continuous improvement of theory, several effective universal modes of metamaterials have gradually formed, including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), Mie resonance, bound states in the continuum (BIC), and Fano resonance. This review begins by summarizing these core resonance mechanisms, followed by a comprehensive overview of six main surface-enhanced spectroscopy techniques across the electromagnetic spectrum: surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA), terahertz (THz) sensing, refractive index (RI) sensing, and chiral sensing. These techniques cover a wide spectral range and address various optical characteristics, enabling the detection of molecular fingerprints, structural chirality, and refractive index changes. Additionally, this review summarized the combined use of different enhanced spectra, the integration with other advanced technologies, and the status of miniaturized metamaterial systems. Finally, we assess current challenges and future directions. Looking to the future, we anticipate that metamaterial-based surface-enhanced spectroscopy will play a transformative role in real-time, on-site detection across scientific, environmental, and biomedical fields.
