Abnormal beam steering with kirigami reconfigurable metasurfaces.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Dynamically controlling electromagnetic waves at will is highly desired in many applications, but most previously realized mechanically reconfigurable metasurfaces are of restricted wave-control capabilities due to the limited tuning ranges of structural properties (e.g., lattice constant or meta-atoms). Here, we present mechanically reconfigurable metasurfaces in which both lattice constants and local reflection phases of constitutional meta-atoms can be synchronously controlled based on the kirigami rotation transformation, thereby exhibiting extended tuning ranges and thus wave-control capabilities. In particular, such metasurfaces can exhibit continuously varied and even re-formed reflection-phase profiles along with the kirigami rotation transformation, serving as ideal platforms to achieve reconfigurable beam steering in pre-designed manners. Using this concept, we design and fabricate two kirigami metasurfaces, working as a beam flipper and as a beam splitter for microwaves, respectively, and experimentally characterize their wave-manipulation functionalities. Experimental results are in good agreement with full-wave simulations. The proposed idea is so general that it can be applied to realize reconfigurable metasurfaces with different materials/configurations or in high frequency regimes, for controlling electromagnetic waves and other classical waves (e.g., acoustic waves).
