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

Achromatic metalenses face stringent aperture and numerical aperture (NA) constraints, which have become a key bottleneck in metasurface imaging. To this end, a novel achromatic imaging method was first proposed, utilizing the unique wideband consistency of diffracted Bessel spots combined with non-blind image restoration techniques. To address the off-axis aberration issue, off-axis achromatic meta-axicons with eccentric conical phases were further designed to convert oblique plane waves into wideband uniform off-axis Bessel beams. Ultimately, a single metasurface integrating 9 meta-axicons with different design field angles was developed, and a meta-camera was constructed accordingly. After image restoration, the meta-camera achieves achromatic imaging within a 10° stitched field of view (FOV), and an angular resolution close to that of near-diffraction-limit lens with the same aperture throughout the entire FOV. The core idea of achieving achromatic imaging based on natural dispersion laws in this study enables the wideband minimalist optical system based on metasurface to completely circumvent the aperture limitation, providing a highly valuable solution for large-aperture meta-camera design that can simultaneously accommodate wideband and off-axis FOV.
