Exposure dose-dependent multi-tone photolithography via photoacid-induced crosslinking and degradation of poly(2,3-dihydrofuran).
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
We propose an exposure dose-dependent multi-tone photolithographic strategy based on competing photoacid-induced crosslinking and degradation within a single homopolymer system. Poly(2,3-dihydrofuran) (PDHF), synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization, integrates acid-triggered inter-chain cationic crosslinking and main-chain acid-catalyzed scission through enol ether moieties, enabling negative-tone, positive-tone, and edge-retained patterning without post-exposure baking. At low exposure doses, crosslinking dominates to generate negative-tone features, whereas high doses induce degradation to produce positive-tone patterns. Unlike conventional chemically amplified resists, the developed patterns consist of crosslinked networks, suppressing photoacid migration and reducing pattern blurring. This work demonstrates a dose-dependent multi-tone lithographic strategy based on photoacid-induced crosslinking and degradation within a single polymer system, offering insights into exposure-controlled pattern formation.
