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

Observation of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) from subwavelength metallic structures is often hindered by the interrelations of higher-order multipolar contributions. In particular, the magnetic Lorentz contribution to SHG is often neglected due to the ineffective magnetic field enhancement in electrically resonant structures. Here, we demonstrate a strong Lorentz-driven SHG output at the plasmon-induced magnetic dipolar resonance in inversion-symmetry-broken plasmonic nanocavities. We observe experimentally tenfold enhancement in the SHG intensity when the magnetic dipole mode is excited, with polarization-resolved measurements confirming the significant role of the hydrodynamic Lorentz-driven second-order nonlinear response. The enhancement originates from a significant spatial overlap between the electric and magnetic fields within the nanometer-scale cavity gaps. Our findings outline the critical role played by the resonant Lorentz-driven optically induced magnetic nonlinearities in metallic nanocavities, and it paves the way towards developing highly efficient nanoscale nonlinear photonic devices.
