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

Terahertz (THz) optical components for power attenuation and dispersion management require materials that provide isotropic and band-selective control of electromagnetic waves. However, two-dimensional (2D) metasurfaces based on coherent lattice coupling exhibit polarization anisotropy and angular dispersion, which lead to phase distortion. Here, three-dimensional (3D) bulk metamaterials (MMs) functioning as THz attenuators are proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on a de-latticing strategy inspired by amorphous natural materials. Periodic arrays of cross-bar meta-atoms are encapsulated by cyclo-olefin polymer (COP) as randomly oriented cubic meta-grains and dispersed within a COP matrix, forming an amorphous composite that eliminates in-plane coherence. The fabricated samples exhibit band-selective and thickness-tunable attenuation with a smooth refractive-index variation across 0.3-0.4 THz. Compared with the 2D metasurface, the dispersion slope
