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

3D printing allows creation of complex, precise chiral luminous materials-with dynamically switchable, circularly polarized light emissions-enabling spatial control over light-matter interactions for advanced optical applications. However, high-performance, additively manufactured chiral materials have yet to be realized, because preservation of chiral molecular alignment and interlayer structural integrity during rapid curing or processing remains challenging. Here, we present an interfacial phase-separated polymerization strategy, allowing rapid and robust production of 3D chiral luminous materials. These stereo-architectures are fabricated via layer-by-layer curing within 20 seconds and, more importantly, displaying 360° omnidirectional chiral light emission with an asymmetry factor 0.6. Furthermore, a finding-chiral emission inversion, tuned by excitation-light circuit switching or z-axis growth-inducing in our system-is observed. The synthesized 3D printed chiral luminous materials with satisfactory precision (10 microns, the limit of printer) pave the way for multifunctional chiral optical devices.
