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

Topological transitions are fundamental phenomena in electronics, photonics, and quantum technologies. However, their scalability and tunability are constrained by material properties or structural rigidities. Here, we demonstrate that plasmonic Moiré superlattices offer a platform for programmable, large-range topological transitions via wavefront engineering. By tailoring the phases of elementary evanescent waves in hexagonal systems, we create Moiré lattices of optical skyrmions, whose topological invariants evolution is programmable and scalable. Theoretical calculations indicate that the topological invariants span a range of values going from -58 to +58, extendable by tuning the Moiré angle. Remarkably, these values are constrained by symmetry to exclude integer multiples of 3/2, revealing an intrinsic link between symmetry and topological quantization. Our work establishes a versatile control platform of real-space topology for exploring topological transitions mechanisms and studying critical topological phenomena, further promoting breakthroughs in structured light, photonic computing, and condensed matter physics.
