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

Emerging demands for dynamic wavefront modulation in holographic displays, augmented/virtual reality, and light detection and ranging require spatial light modulators (SLMs) with high pixel density and fast refresh rates. However, key parameters of existing liquid-crystal and metasurface-based SLMs, such as spatiotemporal product density, field of view and refresh rate, remain far below application requirements. Here we report an optically addressed metasurface SLM composed of independently tunable meta-atom supercells with a 756 nm pitch. This device reduces SLM pixel size to the submicrometre scale while achieving a spatiotemporal product density of 2.3 × 10
