Topological Langmuir-cyclotron wave.
Article in Science advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A theory is developed to describe the topological Langmuir-cyclotron wave (TLCW), a topological excitation in magnetized plasmas recently identified by numerical simulations. As a topological wave in a continuous medium, the TLCW propagates unidirectionally without scattering in complex boundaries and can be explored as an effective mechanism to energize particles. We show that, because momentum space in continuous media is contractible in general, the topology of the wave bundles is trivial over momentum space that contains no degeneracy points. This is in stark contrast to condensed matters with periodic lattice structures that impose nontrivial topology on momentum space. In continuous media without lattice structures, nontrivial topology of the eigenmode bundles manifests over phase space, and it is the nontrivial topology over phase space that underpins the topological excitations, such as the TLCW. It is shown that the TLCW can be faithfully modeled by a generic tilted Dirac cone in phase space, whose entire spectrum, including the spectral flow, is given.
