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

Polarization imaging has the powerful ability to detect unique features invisible to human eyes, which is challenging for conventional intensity imaging systems. Metasurface emerges as a transformative platform for compact polarization imaging systems, but prior strategies suffer from limited imaging field-of-view (FOV) and coarse-grained polarization pixels. Here, we demonstrate a meta-grating-lens (MGL)-based monolithic polarization camera achieving 14° FOV and real-time full-Stokes polarization imaging in the near-infrared region. The optimized MGL exhibits >60% focusing efficiency with <3% zeroth-order noise, enabling simultaneous polarization analysis, beam-splitting, and imaging functionalities in a fine-grained pixel level. This synergistic design enables both efficient light utilization and accurate polarization reconstruction. The proposed polarization camera has the potential to unlock wide range of applications including autonomous navigation, biomedical diagnostics, and even compact Muller matrix imaging systems.
