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

Controlling light-matter interactions is central to photonic technologies ranging from lasers to optical information processing. Suitably designed photonic structures give rise to flat bands, where the density of states diverges and the group velocity goes to zero, allowing light localization. These properties make flat bands attractive for lasing; however, designing photonic structures that support flat bands is challenging. Here, we introduce long-range coupled chains of nanoparticles that support totally flat bands extending over the full angular range. We demonstrate flat-band lasing in single chains and explain the transition to Γ-point lasing as the number of chains is increased. Moreover, we show partially coherent emission from square and triangular two-dimensional chain lattices. The excited modes depend on the pump power and polarization. Our results establish chain lattices as a versatile platform for exploring flat-band lasing and suggest new routes toward narrow-band, linearly polarized, and bright light sources with tailored coherence.
