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

Metasurfaces enable the generation of strong nonlinear signals, with nanoantenna resonances significantly enhancing the nonlinear response through tailored light-matter interactions. Commonly used nonlinear materials, such as lithium niobate and other similar crystals, have relatively moderate refractive indices, limiting their ability to achieve the strong mode localization attainable with high-refractive-index materials like silicon. Here, we report on enhancing mode confinement in nonlinear metasurfaces by employing conformal coatings of titania with atomic layer deposition (ALD). We develop a low-temperature ALD that enables the augmentation of resonances in materials that cannot withstand high-temperature processing, including polymers. We report on the design of a metasurface incorporating a nonlinear crystal and an ALD coating, achieving enhanced mode localization through this approach in the near-infrared wavelength range. We numerically demonstrate a significant enhancement in second-harmonic generation in the designed metasurface, achieved by optimizing the thickness of the ALD coating for the telecommunication wavelength.
