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

Achieving precise control over chiral light-matter interactions at the nanometer-femtosecond scale, where both spatial and temporal limits are approached, remains a central challenge in nano- and quantum optics. This control is essential for next-generation ultracompact, ultrafast chiral photonic devices, but no method has realized both the construction and the active regulation of a localized chiroptical source within a single plasmonic nanoantenna. In this study, we report a strategy for creating and dynamically controlling a spatiotemporally localized chiroptical source via plasmonic eigenmode engineering in an achiral rectangular nanoantenna. With time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy, we directly image and analyze eigenmode dynamics and interference-induced near-field chirality across the space, time, and wavelength domains, revealing polarization-dependent hotspots in the nanoantenna. An interferometric pump-probe method further enables the on/off switching and near-field chirality reversal of the chiroptical photon source between nanoantenna corners with a sub-1.37 fs time delay between pump and probe pulses. This approach also yields a tunable superchiral photon source, providing a versatile platform for integrated ultrafast chiral nanophotonic applications.
