1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Chiral vortex beams with tunable topological charges (TCs) hold promise for high-capacity and multi-channel information transmission. However, asymmetric vortex transport, a crucial feature for enhancing robustness and security, often disrupts channel independence by altering TCs, causing signal distortion. Here, we exploit the radial mode degree of freedom in chiral space to achieve extremely asymmetric transmission with high energy contrast, while preserving chirality and TCs. This is enabled by radial mode modulation, induced by one-way momentum from an invasive metamaterial, resulting in full vortex transmission in one direction and complete isolation in the opposite. We further realize high-contrast asymmetric image transport by encoding information into different TC channels. Notably, this approach sustains near noise-immune performance at signal-to-noise ratios as low as -25 dB, owing to TC preservation and the orthogonality of vortices with differing TCs. Our findings present a new strategy for chiral beam control and pave the way for secure, directional, and noise-resilient information transport in structured wave platforms.
