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 demonstrate structural color generation in silicon-on-insulator wafers using nanosecond laser irradiation. Laser-induced periodic surface structures on the thin Si film act as grating couplers, enabling optical resonances that produce bright, spectrally selective structural colors at visible wavelengths. The mechanism combines grating-mediated waveguide coupling with Fabry-Perot spectral filtering, yielding optical characteristics resembling guided-mode resonance. The central wavelength is tunable across the visible spectrum by varying Si film thickness (50-70 nm range), with measured samples exhibiting green coloration at 55 nm and red at 70 nm thickness. Numerical simulations qualitatively reproduce the observed optical properties. This non-chemical, non-fading coloration offers potential applications in secure marking and process control for semiconductor manufacturing.
