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

We present a systematic investigation of the optical response to circularly polarized illumination in twisted stacked plasmonic nanostructures. The system consists in two identical, parallel gold triskelia, centrally aligned and rotated at a certain angle relative to each other. Sample fabrication was accomplished through a novel multilevel high-resolution electron beam lithography. This stack holds two plasmonic modes of multipolar character in the near-infrared range, showing a strong dependence of their excitation intensities on the handedness of the circularly polarized incident light. This translates into a large circular dichroism which can be modulated by adjusting the twist angle of the stack. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and numerical simulations were employed to characterize the spectral features of the modes. Remarkably, in contrast to previous results in other stacked nanostructures, the system's response exhibits a behavior analogous to that of two interacting dipoles only at small angles. As the angle approaches 15°, where maximum dichroism is observed, more complex modes of the stack emerge. These modes evolve towards two in-phase multipolar excitations of the two triskelia as the angle increases up to 60°. Finally, simulations for a triangular array of such stacked elements show a sharp mode arising from the hybridization of a surface lattice resonance with the low-energy mode of the stack. This hybridized mode demonstrates the capability to be selectively switched on and off through the light polarization handedness.
