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

Attosecond science-the control of electrons by ultrashort laser pulses-is developing into lightfield-driven, or petahertz, electronics. Optical-field-driven nanostructures provide elements for such electronics, which rely on understanding electron dynamics in the optical near field. Here we report near-field-induced low-energy stripes in carrier-envelope-phase-dependent electron spectra-a spectral feature that appears in the direct electrons emitted from a strongly driven nanostructure. These stripes arise from the subcycle sensitivity of the ponderomotive acceleration of electrons injected into a strong near-field gradient by a few-cycle optical waveform. They allow the tracking of direct and rescattered electron emissions on subcycle timescales and provide access to the electron momentum width at emission. Because this effect occurs in the direct electron signal, a large fraction of the emitted electrons can be steered, enabling the isolation of individual attosecond electron bursts with high charge density.
