Dynamic optical chirality based on liquid-crystal-embedded nano-cilia photonic structures.
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
Compared to natural chiral molecules, artificial chiral photonic structures offer stronger chiroptical responses. However, the remarkable optical properties of most chiral structures are fixed upon fabrication, limiting their applications in scenarios where a dynamic response is required. Here, we propose an active optical chirality strategy by nano-kirigami and self-organization method, based on which a dual chiral framework is fabricated with cilia structures and cholesteric liquid crystal (LC). This dual chiral framework allows for a dynamic and wide range of chiroptical responses with nanoscale pixel size, enabling amplification, elimination, and reversal of circular dichroism. Furthermore, a thermally tunable chiroptical metalens based on this cilia-LC framework is constructed to achieve a focusing switch of circularly polarized light. This proposed technique holds great potential in diverse fields, including dynamic imaging, optical encryption, tunable displays, and sensors.
