Tuning electronic and phononic states with hidden order in disordered crystals.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Disorder in crystals is rarely random, and instead involves local correlations whose presence and nature are hidden from conventional crystallographic probes. This hidden order can sometimes be controlled, but its importance for physical properties of materials is not well understood. Using simple models for electronic and interatomic interactions, we show how crystals with identical average structures but different types of hidden order can have very different electronic and phononic band structures. Increasing the strength of local correlations within hidden-order states can open band gaps and tune mode (de)localisation-both mechanisms allowing for fundamental changes in physical properties without long-range symmetry breaking. Taken together, our results demonstrate how control over hidden order offers a new mechanism for tuning material properties, orthogonal to the conventional principles of (ordered) structure/property relationships.
