Morphing polymer voxels for dynamic information switching.
Article in Science advances, 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
Conventional print is noninteractive, whereas modern electronic displays, even with improved energy efficiency, require continuous power input and generate electronic waste. Here, we report morphing polymeric voxels based on liquid crystal that enable seamless and reversible information display without onboard electrical power or integrated circuitry. Each voxel exhibits programmable dual birefringence arising from geometry-defined structural anisotropy and mesogen-defined material anisotropy. By mapping laser-writing angle and power, two distinct images are encoded within a single array. Mechanical deformation induces voxel buckling and hybrid director fields, reversibly switching brightness dominance between the two birefringence channels. This deformation-driven mechanism enables reversible transitions between preencoded images. Comprising only polymers and relying on passive optical modulation, the platform establishes a sustainable route toward circuit-free dynamic displays.
