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

A planar chiral plasmonic nanoantenna exhibiting an excitation-chirality-dependent hot spot in a nanogap is numerically investigated. Additionally, the underlying design principles are examined, providing a broadly applicable framework for engineering chiral nanoantennas through controlled geometrical or modal asymmetry. The hot spot can be turned on and off by changing the handedness of the exciting circularly polarized light (CPL). This effect stems from the rationally designed interference of plasmonic modes excited by the linearly polarized orthogonal components of CPL. The hot spot exhibits maximal near-field dissymmetry factor (≈ -2) at a wavelength of 842 nm. The intensity at the hot spot can also be continuously modulated by varying the excitation ellipticity and handedness, approaching a modulation depth of 100%. These attributes enable chirality- and ellipticity-dependent switching and dynamic modulation of the plasmonic near field. Moreover, placing an achiral quantum emitter in the nanogap generates almost perfectly circularly polarized emission, offering a simple yet effective avenue to realize nanoscale circularly polarized single-photon sources.
