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

Epsilon near zero (ENZ) thin films have attracted considerable attention due to their unique optical properties in the near-infrared (NIR), which have enabled a wide range of interesting phenomena and diverse applications. In nonlinear optics, the near-zero permittivity of films in the NIR region has been shown to enhance second-order nonlinear processes by several orders of magnitude, therefore boosting both second harmonic (SH) generation and broadband THz generation. In this work, we investigate THz-field-induced second harmonic (TFISH) generation in indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films in the ENZ spectral region. A symmetry-breaking electric field is applied using a high field strength broadband THz pulse, which when temporally overlapped with an ultrashort optical pulse, results in the emission of second harmonic from the centrosymmetric film. The experimental results mirror very well the predictions of a four-wave mixing optical model, capturing the interplay between linear and nonlinear effects driving the NIR-THz-ITO interaction.
