Light people: Professor Mengkun Liu.
Article in Light, science & applications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
editorialAt the frontier where light meets quantum matter, Professor Mengkun Liu has built a distinctive research program that integrates advanced optical nanoscopy, quantum materials, and emergent light-matter interactions. As a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook University, he leads the Ultrafast & Near-field Infrared Laboratory (UNI-Lab), where his group pioneers infrared-to-terahertz near-field spectroscopy under extreme conditions, enabling direct visualization of polaritons, collective excitations, and quantum phenomena at the nanoscale. Over the past decade, Professor Liu and his collaborators have not only made fundamental discoveries in quantum materials and nanophotonics but have also reshaped experimental capabilities through instrument innovation - ranging from magneto-near-field optical microscopy to synchrotron-based infrared nanoscopy. In this interview, he reflects on the scientific ideas that drive his research, the philosophy behind building a creative research group, and his perspective on the future of optical science at the quantum frontier.
