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

A causal electromagnetic (EM) metasurface is backed by a lossless substrate and partially absorbs obliquely incoming rays. The integral of the absorbed power along the entire frequency axis is analytically evaluated, and the obtained sum rules indicate the global absorption by such a generic configuration. The beneficial influence of the plasma frequency and damping factor on the total absorbance score as well as the opposite effect of the angle of excitation, is noted. An overall lossless behavior at the incidence direction where the propagating waves into the substrate turn into evanescent is identified, once the magnetic field is parallel to the interface. The reported results can be useful in the tailoring of spectrally dependent absorption by a whole class of planar structures and, accordingly, in the forward and inverse design of lossy photonic metasurface setups.
