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

The explosive growth of data has intensified challenges to information security, spurring a critical need for advanced encryption technologies, and relying solely on digital encryption still leaves information vulnerable to interception and leakage during transmission. Therefore, encryption technologies that combine digital algorithms with physical keys to further enhance information security are widely studied. In this work, we present an angle- and polarization-selective dual-wavelength long-wavelength infrared narrowband thermal emitter for infrared encryption-decryption applications. The thermal emitter is composed of an epsilon-near-zero material upon a metallic layer, designed to enable the excitation of the Berreman mode and asymmetric Fabry-Pérot resonance simultaneously. Numerical simulations combined with the transfer matrix method are employed to analytically investigate the optical responses, demonstrating good agreement with experimental results. Moreover, a robust multilevel cryptographic communication system is developed, utilizing the thermal emitter's imaging results as the physical-layer key to enable highly efficient information encryption and decryption. We anticipate that the proposed thermal emitters will pave the way for realizing relevant applications in various information encryption devices.
