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

Plasmonic nanocavities enable the synchronization of spatially distant emissive dipoles through strong near-field coupling in subnanometre gaps. Yet, it remains unclear how collective phase order can emerge in nanoscale optical systems where dissipation, disorder and ultrafast radiative loss normally suppress long-lived coherence. Here we report the formation of a room-temperature synchronized dipole state in locally ordered plasmonic nanogap two-dimensional arrays under non-resonant continuous-wave pumping. The system consists of methylene blue emitters confined in cucurbit[7]uril-defined subnanometre gaps between close-packed gold nanoparticles. Unlike lasers, photonic Bose-Einstein condensates or exciton-polariton condensates, this system exhibits spatial coherence across the dipoles, while rapid radiative emission suppresses temporal photon coherence. Increased coherence is observed with increasing pumping, marked by the spatial spread of g
