Compressing Few-Cycle Optical Near Fields in the Tip-Sample Junction of a Scanning Probe Microscope.
Article in Nano letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Plasmonic nanogaps confine light to dimensions in the nanometer or even subnanometer range while simultaneously enhancing the local electromagnetic field strength. This spatial light confinement has been key for the development of nano-optics. So far, the temporal dynamics of such nanoconfined fields has received comparatively little attention, in particular in the visible spectral range. Here we measure the amplitude and phase of the electric field of visible to near-infrared light pulses scattered from the gap between a sharp gold tip and a metal surface. We retrieve the time structure of the field with subcycle precision. We provide evidence for a complex-valued local near-field enhancement and demonstrate that the spatial confinement of a few-cycle pulse in the investigated nanogap is correlated with a substantial reduction in its pulse duration. Our results pave the way for probing the linear and nonlinear electric field dynamics of single quantum emitters in nanogaps.
