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

Recent advances in nanostructured photodetectors have enabled precise control over light absorption while minimizing photon losses. In this work, we demonstrate a plasmonic metamaterial absorber based on two-dimensional MXene (Ti₃C₂Tₓ) featuring geometrically tunable tetragram-shaped arrays. Through finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations and structural optimization, we achieved over 90% photon absorption across the broadband spectral range of 1000-2500 nm, representing a significant enhancement in operational bandwidth. By incorporating HgTe quantum dots (QDs) as an intermediate spacer layer, we developed a hybrid plasmonic-QD phototransistor that leverages gap surface plasmon resonance effects to enhance low-energy photon absorption. This configuration resulted in substantial improvements in current density and achieved a detectivity of 1.46 × 10¹¹ Jones at room temperature. Our findings demonstrate a scalable platform for high-sensitivity broadband photodetection with promising applications in advanced optical sensing systems.
