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

Photonic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is related to Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase, which is usually imposed on the cross-polarized components of light incident on a metasurface in broadband manner. However, metasurfaces exhibiting exceptional points (EPs) can block the cross-polarization conversion channel, hinting at the possibility of EPs influencing SOI. Here, we demonstrate that the accumulation of PB phase is equivalent to the encircling of an EP, leading to topologically reconstructed PB phase. Through spin-Hall effect and spin-to-vortex conversion, we experimentally realize chiral SOI steering within chosen spectral ranges and polarization, showing suppression, inversion and doubling of the PB phase accumulated via rotation. Our work introduces the possibility to control SOIs via a topologically reconstructed PB phase, offering promising possibilities for applications such as information encryption.
