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

We demonstrated a far-field super-resolution optical imaging for mapping the resonance mode within semiconductor nanowires, where periodic distributions are found with good agreement between simulation and experiment. The pronounced absorption at the antinodes leads to localized photothermal heating, as well as consequent scattering nonlinearity via the thermo-optic effect. To break the diffraction limit, we combine the scattering nonlinearity with tightly focused laser scanning. Based on the principle of saturated excitation (SAX) microscopy, the nonlinear scattering signals are extracted to significantly improve the spatial resolution (1.7 fold), enabling visualization of the resonant modes that are not visible with conventional far-field optical imaging. Our results pave the way for optical inspection of semiconductor photonic integrated circuits with subdiffraction-limit spatial resolution.
