Intensity-asymmetric wavefront shaping in nonlocal meta-lens.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. 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
Asymmetric wavefront shaping can unlock essential functionalities for next-generation photonic systems, such as unidirectional transmission, nonlinear signal routing, and nonreciprocal light control. However, achieving these functionalities in passive nonlinear metasurfaces remains challenging due to the required trade-offs among nonlinear efficiency, phase modulation, and directional asymmetry, particularly on low-index substrates with weak intrinsic asymmetry. Here, we propose a meta-lens that effectively integrates local Mie-type resonances with nonlocal quasi-bound states in the continuum, tailoring their interaction. Without any additional layers, this hybrid design produces a strong directional response originating from asymmetries induced by the silica substrate, while preserving high nonlinear efficiency and robust phase modulation. Experimentally, directional focusing is achieved across the fundamental wavelength and its second and third harmonics, with a maximum forward-to-backward power ratio exceeding 10 dB. This work opens new opportunities for nonreciprocal LIDAR and optical computing applications.
