Tunable Skyrmion, Meron, and Skyrmion Bag Textures in Surface Phonon Polariton Lattices.

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
Surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) enable nanoscale manipulation of mid-infrared light via deeply subwavelength topological vector textures, such as skyrmions. Achieving dynamic, real-time control over these topological features remains challenging. Here, we theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate an actively tunable platform on a silicon carbide membrane that creates lattices of diverse topological textures, including skyrmions, merons, and skyrmion bags. By exploiting the sublinear SPhP dispersion, we dynamically adjust the excitation wavelength to tune the topological character of these lattices. This enables tunability between bubble-type and Néel-type configurations, controlling field confinement and topology for topological textures in the electric field and the spin angular momentum. Furthermore, we identify a novel singularity-type meron arising from the interplay of electric and magnetic spin components. This texture exhibits topological charge conservation in moiré superlattices and a spatially confined spin reversal with tunable lateral sizes as low as
