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 offer compact control of light polarization, which is vital for imaging, sensing, and communications. However, cost-effective efficient polarization conversion in the mid-infrared (IR) remains challenging due to reliance on high-resolution lithography. We demonstrate that dispersion engineering of surface phonon polariton (SPhP) metasurfaces overcomes these limitations, enabling efficient and tunable polarization conversion in the mid-IR. By integrating a dielectric layer with the SiC-based metasurface, we control hybrid SPhP and SPhP-like waveguide resonances, achieving up to 61% experimental and 82% simulated conversion efficiency across the Reststrahlen band. Our design avoids SiC etching, enhancing compatibility with hard-to-etch materials. Bandwidth tunability is achieved by varying the grating pitch, with full width at half-maximum ranging from 146.82 to 52.2 cm
