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

This study focuses on the optical heating of spatially dispersive solids due to electronic light scattering (ELS), a phenomenon driven by indirect optical transitions. In this process, a light-illuminated spatial heterogeneity generates an optical near-field photon with expanded momentum and thereby electron-photon momentum matching can be fulfilled. It results in indirect optical transitions which contribute to broadband inelastic emission, a physical process known as electronic light scattering or Compton scattering of visible photons. This is followed by thermalization of the electron system, making the solids to heat up and eventually melt. We experimentally demonstrate this effect by optical melting a spatially confined semiconductor (Si) and metal (Au) under moderate continuous-wave laser illumination with the intensity of only a few MW/cm
