1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Topological transitions of structured light at optical interfaces, particularly near singularities in reflection coefficients, hold significant potential for advanced light field manipulation. However, these phenomena remain largely unexplored beyond classical Brewster-angle configurations. In this work, we establish a unified theoretical framework to describe topological transitions-from an ideal vortex to a deformed off-axis vortex-near reflection singularities and provide experimental validation of the predictions. Through a full-wave model, we demonstrate that the transition is governed by three independent degrees of freedom: the incident angle, the incident polarization state, and the reflected polarization state. This triple-control mechanism enables precise manipulation of vortex deformation and lateral shifting. Furthermore, we extend this approach to multilayer systems by designing a PT-symmetric bilayer structure satisfying
