Structural color generation: from layered thin films to optical metasurfaces.
Review in Nanophotonics (Berlin, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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
Recent years have witnessed a rapid development in the field of structural coloration, colors generated from the interaction of nanostructures with light. Compared to conventional color generation based on pigments and dyes, structural color generation exhibits unique advantages in terms of spatial resolution, operational stability, environmental friendliness, and multiple functionality. Here, we discuss recent development in structural coloration based on layered thin films and optical metasurfaces. This review first presents fundamentals of color science and introduces a few popular color spaces used for color evaluation. Then, it elaborates on representative physical mechanisms for structural color generation, including Fabry-Pérot resonance, photonic crystal resonance, guided mode resonance, plasmon resonance, and Mie resonance. Optimization methods for efficient structure parameter searching, fabrication techniques for large-scale and low-cost manufacturing, as well as device designs for dynamic displaying are discussed subsequently. In the end, the review surveys diverse applications of structural colors in various areas such as printing, sensing, and advanced photovoltaics.
