Adaptively programmable metasurface for intelligent wireless communications in complex environments.
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 7 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
The programmable metasurface or reconfigurable intelligent surface is one of the emerging technologies for next-generation wireless communications, but the existing programmable metasurfaces still rely on human control to reshape the electromagnetic (EM) environment as desired. Here, we propose an adaptively programmable metasurface (APM), which integrates the capabilities of acquiring wireless environment information and manipulating the EM waves in programmable manners. APM can sense the complex EM field distributions around and dynamically manipulate the EM waves and signals in real time under the guidance of the sensed information, eliminating the need for prior knowledge or external input on the wireless environment. For experimental verification, a 6 × 6 APM prototype is constructed and its dual capabilities of sensing and wave manipulation are validated. Different integrated sensing and communication scenarios with and without the aid of APM are established, and the capability of APM in enhancing the communication quality is demonstrated in complex environments, highlighting its beneficial application potentials in future wireless systems.
