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

Anisotropic polaritons in low-symmetry crystals allow for subwavelength confinement and directional routing of light. The most extreme form of such anisotropy arises at the topological transition between elliptical and hyperbolic dispersion, where the isofrequency contours collapse into parallel lines and polaritons propagate in a diffractionless, beam-like fashion. This canalization regime has previously been accessed through twisted heterostructures or engineered metasurfaces. Here we show that intrinsic canalization can be achieved without any fabrication or structuring by exploiting the intrinsic elliptical-to-hyperbolic transition in the van der Waals crystal MoOCl
