Thermally Reconfigurable Metasurfaces: From Linear Wavefront Control to Nonlinear and Chemical Functionality.
Review in Nano letters, 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
Resonant metasurfaces concentrate light into subwavelength volumes where even modest temperature changes can shift, reshape, or extinguish spectral features─turning heat into a powerful control knob. This Review presents a unified perspective on thermo-optical metasurfaces, showing how photothermal transduction and temperature-dependent refractive indices connect a single physical mechanism to diverse functionalities. We trace this connection from wavefront and spectral control in the linear regime to bistability, nonreciprocity, and modulation of nonlinear and quantum optical processes. We further highlight emerging applications at the interface of nanophotonics and chemistry, where thermally generated temperature fields and tunable resonances can control reaction environments, enhance infrared molecular signatures, and switch polaritonic coupling. By comparing material platforms and resonance architectures, we identify key opportunities and challenges that will guide the development of thermo-optical metasurfaces for reconfigurable photonics, spectroscopy, and chemistry.
