A reconfigurable non-linear active metasurface for coherent wave down-conversion.
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 3 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
Metasurfaces can manipulate the amplitude and phase of electromagnetic waves, offering applications from antenna design and cloaking to imaging and communication. Temporal and non-linear metasurfaces can also adjust the frequency of impinging waves, advancing frequency conversion, sensing, and quantum systems. Here, we demonstrate a non-linear active electronic-photonic metasurface that transfers information from an impinging optical wave to a millimeter-wave beam. The proof-of-concept metasurface is designed to radiate a steerable 28 GHz beam when illuminated with an optical wave at 193 THz and consists of optically synchronized electronic-photonic chips tiled on a printed circuit board containing a microstrip patch antenna array. Light, modulated with a data-encoded mm-wave carrier, is coupled into electronic-photonic chips using microlenses. Within each chip, the mm-wave signal is detected, phased adjusted, amplified, and routed to an off-chip antenna. Beam-steering over a range of 60° in elevation and azimuth and data transmission at 2 Gb/s over a fiber-wireless link are demonstrated.
