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

We develop a new theory of an optical force exerted on a carbon nanotube (CNT) with a non-local conductivity. To determine the optical force, we employ an integral-equation-based approach in terms of the current density. The analysis is constructed for a finite-length cylindrical CNT by rigorously accounting for edge effects. In addition to numerical solutions of the integral equation, we obtain an approximate analytical expression for the optical force acting on the CNT, which shows good agreement with numerical simulations. We also demonstrate the existence of some frequency ranges in which the optical force becomes negative, corresponding to the optical pulling effect. Such a pulling behavior is shown to originate from the non-locality of the conductivity. This work advances theoretical understanding of optomechanical interactions in low-dimensional conductors and clarifies the role of spatial dispersion in the emergence of optical pulling forces.
