Thickness Thresholds for Generating Plasmonic Surfaces via Solid-State Dewetting of Ultrathin Silver Films on Soft Polymeric Substrates.

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.
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
This study demonstrates a dewetting process on polymeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates, enabling the fabrication of soft plasmonic masks based on silver thin films of varying thicknesses, applied to both planar and structured surfaces. The adaptation and suitability of thermal dewetting processes, typically employed on rigid substrates, for the creation of plasmonic applications are investigated. A distinct threshold behavior was observed: ultrathin films with thicknesses between 1 and 9 nm exhibited pronounced plasmonic resonance, whereas thicker layers of 13-19 nm showed no measurable response. These results indicate that both the initial thin-film thickness and the resulting nanoparticle geometry critically influence the collective plasmonic properties. Thinner layers produced higher
