Exciton-assisted electron tunnelling in van der Waals heterostructures.
Article in Nature materials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The control of elastic and inelastic electron tunnelling relies on materials with well-defined interfaces. Two-dimensional van der Waals materials are an excellent platform for such studies. Signatures of acoustic phonons and defect states have been observed in current-to-voltage measurements. These features can be explained by direct electron-phonon or electron-defect interactions. Here we use a tunnelling process that involves excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). We study tunnel junctions consisting of graphene and gold electrodes separated by hexagonal boron nitride with an adjacent TMD monolayer and observe prominent resonant features in current-to-voltage measurements appearing at bias voltages that correspond to TMD exciton energies. By placing the TMD outside of the tunnelling pathway, we demonstrate that this tunnelling process does not require any charge injection into the TMD. The appearance of such optical modes in electrical transport introduces additional functionality towards van der Waals material-based optoelectronic devices.
