Silicon nano-kirigami with controlled plastic, elastic and hysteretic deformations.
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 4 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
Nano-kirigami, inspired by the art of paper cutting and folding, offers a promising approach to three-dimensional (3D) nanomanufacturing by simply transforming two-dimensional (2D) precursors into complex 3D architectures. Here we report a profound study on three types of deformation behaviors of silicon-based nano-kirigami structures, including plastic, elastic, and hysteretic deformations. Three-stage bidirectional plastic deformations with double reversals, driven by ion-induced stress gradients, are observed and well explained by developing a torque model, revealing the critical stress competition caused by ion implantation and vacancy distribution during gallium ion irradiations. Fast-recovering elastic deformations are generated under mechanical or electrical stimuli, which can support mechanical response at a 10 nano-Newton level and optical modulation with high repeatability. Extraordinary hysteretic deformations with fast-changing and long-tail recovery periods are observed, which are uncovered by a capacitor-like charge accumulation mechanism. The controllable elastic and hysteretic deformation modes are further employed to demonstrate the applications in dynamic optical information encryption. This work reports a useful methodology to design, fabricate, and manipulate silicon-based nano-kirigami structures with great potential for applications in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), nano-opto-electromechanical systems (NOEMS), micro-/nano-machinery and other advanced nanotechnologies.
