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

Fano resonances in nanophotonic structures are attractive for sensing due to their ultanarrow resonant linewidths and high local fields. Conventional read out schemes rely on measuring a frequency shift in Fano scattering spectra as function of perturbation. We experimentally demonstrate that angle-resolved analysis of the scattering of a Fano resonant structure is quantitatively more informative than measuring spectral shifts. We theoretically discuss how a perturbation affects fundamental nanophotonic properties of a Fano resonant metasystem, and how these are transduced to an observable far field response. We perform a rigorous experimental study in which we characterize deeply subwavelength perturbations in a Fano resonant dielectric metasurface using a conventional spectral approach, and a Fourier scatterometry based approach, and show that perturbations can lead to marked directional scattering in Fourier space. We finally quantitatively compare these two sensing methods in terms of their inherent Fisher information content, and show that an information advantage is obtained when the signal is resolved in Fourier space.
