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
Metasurfaces excel at local, spatially varying control of wavefronts, whereas photonic crystals (PhCs) are admired for their nonlocal resonances such as bound states in the continuum (BICs). These two regimes-local control and nonlocal collective response-have long been viewed as difficult to integrate within a single platform. Here, we introduce local-nonlocal assisted multifunctional PhCs unifying wavefront shaping and BICs by embedding meta-notches within PhC pillars. The locally tunable notches generate spectral-zero-assisted topological phase for efficient 2π coverage, while the strongly confined BIC modes remain largely unperturbed, preserving high-Q nonlocal resonances. This constructive local-nonlocal integration synthesizes the design freedom of metasurfaces with the dispersive resonance of PhCs in a single planar device. Our approach extends the capabilities of flat optics, enabling multifunctional PhCs and opening pathways toward higher-order topologies, advanced imaging, communication, and analogue optical computing.
