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

Volume-confined hyperbolic phonon polaritons (v-HPhPs), which are waveguide modes tightly bounded within anisotropic thin films, represent a distinctive platform for directional manipulations of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. While the electrically tunable plasmons of atomically thin graphene offers a vital pathway for dynamical control of v-HPhPs in films of hundreds of nanometer thick, achieving the ultimate tuning efficiency is crucial for advancing v-HPhPs related applications. Here, we theoretically establish the fundamental bounds of v-HPhP tuning and experimentally attain this ultimate limit using interlayer-biased double-layer graphene integrated at the v-HPhP film/air interface. This approach is validated through electrical modulation of canalized v-HPhP propagation in α-MoO
