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

In this work, we propose and analyze a thermally tunable metasurface based on indium antimonide (InSb), designed to operate in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. The metasurface exhibits dual functionalities: single-band perfect absorption and efficient polarization conversion, enabled by the temperature-dependent permittivity of InSb. At approximately 280 K, InSb transitions into a metallic state, enabling the metasurface to achieve near-unity absorptance (100%) at 0.408 THz under normal incidence, independent of polarization. Conversely, when InSb behaves as a dielectric at 200 K, the metasurface operates as an efficient polarization converter. By exploiting structural anisotropy, it achieves a polarization conversion ratio exceeding 85% over the frequency range from 0.56 to 0.93 THz, while maintaining stable performance for incident angles up to 45°. Parametric analyses show that the resonance frequency and absorption intensity can be effectively tuned by varying the InSb square size and the silica (SiO
