3D lithography of diamond thermal emitters for microscale emissivity control.
Article in Nature communications, 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
On-demand control of material emissivity presents a compelling avenue for innovating both fundamental research and engineering applications. However, a solution for high-precision, wide range, and multi-degree-of-freedom emissivity modulation remains an unmet challenge. Here, we demonstrate programmable absorptive microcavity arrays within bulk diamond using a minimalist ultrafast laser-induced composite micro-nanostructuring approach. These microcavities incorporate amorphous layers and numerous random nanostructures, exhibiting exceptional broadband emissivity (reaching ~0.97 across 0.25-25 μm). By tuning the structural characteristics of the microcavities, we demonstrate pixel-level microscale emissivity manipulation within the diamond matrix. The engineered thermal emitters enable multiple advanced performances: high resolution, fast response, angular independence, and remarkable stability. These findings unlock diverse brand-new applications, including 3D thermal displays, thermal encryption, and multi-dimensional information recording. Our methodology represents a new paradigm for establishing a versatile thermal radiation management platform in a highly transparent medium, bridging the gap from 2D on-surface towards 3D free-space emissivity engineering for next-generation thermal-photonics technologies.
