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

Electromagnetically induced transparency-like effects in silicon metasurfaces have attracted considerable interest due to their capability to manipulate optical resonances and improve sensing performance. In this work, a U-shaped silicon metasurface is proposed, consisting of a horizontal nanopillar supporting bright mode and two vertical nanopillars supporting dark mode. The coupling and coherent interference between the bright and dark modes lead to a pronounced EIT-like effect at specific wavelengths. By introducing nanoscale gaps between the horizontal and vertical silicon pillars, a U-shaped silicon metasurface with gap mode (UG metasurface) is formed, which induces strong near-field enhancement and is associated with reduced radiative losses, thereby improving the quality factor of the EIT-like resonance of UG metasurfaces. Two silicon metasurface samples are fabricated, and their transmission spectra are experimentally measured, showing good agreement with numerical simulations. In addition, the refractive index sensing performance of silicon metasurfaces is numerically investigated. The results show that the UG metasurface design significantly enhances the sensing capability, increasing the figure of merit from 6 RIU
