Designing Physical Unclonable Functions From Optically Active Materials.
Review in Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are artificial "fingerprints" provided by physical devices to authenticate manufactured goods. Their inherent unclonable nature positions them as one of the most promising tools to tackle global counterfeiting challenges. Leveraging the large parameter space in solution chemistry, chemically generated PUFs can achieve excellent device performance. Particularly, optically active materials have become valuable security inks thanks to their versatile, non-invasive, and non-destructive readouts, and PUF devices generated from stochastic nano-/micro-patterns of optical inks hold great potential. This review highlights recent advances in the design of optical PUF devices. A range of resonant and non-resonant optical materials used as security taggants are presented and their incorporation in state-of-the-art PUF devices is examined using non-deterministic fabrication techniques. By outlining design criteria, challenges, and opportunities, a roadmap is provided for developing next-generation PUFs using established and emerging optical probes and help advance security and reliability in anticounterfeiting technologies.
