Differentiable library-based inverse design of achromatic metalens for full-color near-eye displays.
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 3 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
Achromatic metalenses capable of full-color imaging are essential for compact near-eye displays, yet their practical realization remains challenging by trade-offs among wavelength multiplexing, focusing efficiency, fabrication complexity, and scalability. We address these challenges with a fabrication-constrained inverse design framework that uses a discrete 3D meta-atom library. Each radial pixel selects a manufacturable cylinder from the library using a Gumbel-Softmax estimator, enabling gradient updates. We optimize focusing efficiency, maximizing it while maintaining uniform efficiency across RGB wavelengths. Leveraging two-photon lithography to independently control pillar height and diameter, the designed 3D RGB achromatic metalens achieves ~33% focusing efficiency at the design wavelengths using low-index structures. To improve scalability, a conformal SiO
