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

Dynamic modulation of upconversion with spatiotemporal spectral features is essential for advanced optical multiplexing in anti-counterfeiting applications. However, achieving reversible dynamic control of upconversion emissions in a simple nanostructure of fixed composition under external stimulation remains challenging. Here we show that orthogonal upconversion luminescence in erbium-doped bismuth oxyhalides can be temporally modulated by exploiting the interplay of oxygen vacancies and erbium activators. Alternating ultraviolet irradiation and water bleaching enables reversible regulation of the upconversion emissions with high switching contrast and excellent fatigue resistance. Experimental and theoretical evidences reveal that the introduction of oxygen vacancies and lanthanide activators as well as their interactions contributes to the photochromism-induced dynamic modulation of orthogonal upconversion luminescence. Inspired by their special luminescent performance, the developed materials facilitate evolutionary upconversion color and intensity displays in both spatial and temporal dimensions, offering a promising route for high-level anti-counterfeiting and high-capacity optical storage.
