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

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) lattices created by artificial plasmonic metasurfaces, can carry tremendous optical information and have implications for resilient and secure optical communication. However, tailoring the intensity, spectral, and spatial distributions of these SPP lattices intentionally remain challenging. Here, we develop, theoretically and experimentally, a variety of optical SPP lattices in a category of metasurface named as Kekulé metasurface. This plasmonic nanostructure localizes surface plasmonic polaritons into assorted optical lattices at the two-dimensional limit, visualized by noninvasive leakage radiation microscopy. The spatial distribution and relative intensity of the SPP lattice sites are evolved and tailored by superposing an extra wing-shaped nanoslit set. A configurable on-chip light-emitter array and high-security imaging encryption/decryption using such optical lattices are further demonstrated. This work reports a versatile Kekulé metasurface platform and well-defined SPP lattices with multiple degrees of freedoms, featuring rich physic phenomena and potential photonic elements for applications into existing technologies.
