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 numerically investigate plasmonic metasurface absorbers based on hollow square, hollow cylindrical, and conical nanoantenna geometries fabricated from various plasmonic materials, with emphasis on titanium nitride (TiN) as a refractory alternative to noble metals. Full-wave finite-element simulations in the visible range reveal geometry- and material-dependent absorption behavior, where TiN designs exhibit strong broadband absorption and reduced sensitivity to geometrical variations within the studied parameter space. Fitted analytical models are developed to describe the dependence of wavelength-averaged absorption (400-800 nm) on key structural parameters, enabling reliable performance prediction and efficient optimization. The results show that the intrinsic optical losses and damping properties of TiN support broadband absorption and fabrication tolerance for the examined geometries. This work provides a quantitatively supported framework for designing optimized plasmonic metasurface absorbers for applications such as solar energy harvesting, optical sensing, photothermal conversion, and radiative thermal management.
