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

Classical optical frameworks such as the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) assume that the linear spectrum of coupled quantum emitters can be computed solely from the linear susceptibilities of individual constituents. However, recent polariton studies show that cavity linear response can encode nonlinear optical susceptibilities. Here, we demonstrate that this phenomenon is more general: emitter-emitter interactions allow nonlinearities of individual emitters to emerge in the linear response of arrays, without cavities or permutational symmetry. To illustrate this phenomenon, we show linear spectra for coupled heterodimers and linear chains, and demonstrate that Raman features of individual monomers show up as vibrational sidebands of collective resonances. Moreover, tuning Raman-type anharmonicities enables systematic control of spectral features, establishing a genuine quantum optical effect in molecular aggregates and quantum emitter arrays, which goes beyond mean-field descriptions in light-matter interactions.
