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
Coupled harmonic oscillator models are widely used to describe strong and ultrastrong light-matter coupling, providing a simple yet powerful framework for the quantitative analysis of hybrid modes across a broad range of physical systems. Surprisingly, this approach has not been applied to describe surface phonon polaritons and surface plasmon polaritons, which are among the most fundamental examples of strongly coupled light-matter modes. Here, we analyze their dispersion relations using a harmonic oscillator model based on momentum coupling. We show that the surface polaritons-hybrid modes derived from classical electromagnetic theory-are exactly reproduced when the uncoupled oscillators are chosen as the surface phonon (or surface plasmon) mode and the dielectric Brewster mode. This identifies the dielectric Brewster mode as the photonic component of surface polaritons-a role that is typically left unspecified in the literature-and demonstrates the relevance of the coupled harmonic oscillator model for describing surface polariton dispersions.
