Phase Characterization of Singular Metasurfaces.
Article in ACS photonics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 controlled generation and accurate characterization of light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) are essential for emerging applications in optical communication, quantum information, and advanced imaging. Metasurfaces offer a versatile platform for tailoring such structured electromagnetic fields. However, the accurate measurement of wavefronts containing multiple phase singularities remains a significant metrological challenge. In this work, we employ quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QLSI) as a quantitative phase imaging technique to retrieve spatially resolved phase maps of OAM beams generated by metasurfaces. We demonstrate that QLSI enables robust reconstruction of perfect and imperfect singular phase profiles, providing a reliable tool for the characterization of complex optical fields. This methodology is applied to evaluate metasurfaces designed using two distinct phase encoding mechanisms: effective refractive index (ERI) modulation and Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase. Comparative analysis reveals superior phase accuracy and enhanced fabrication tolerance in PB-based metasurfaces relative to ERI counterparts. These results highlight the potential of QLSI as a diagnostic and validation tool for structured light generation in next-generation photonic devices.
