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

The resonant tunneling diode (RTD) is one of the very few room-temperature-operating quantum devices to date that is able to exhibit negative differential resistance. However, the reported key figure of merit, the current peak-to-valley ratio (PVR), of graphene RTDs has been up to only 3.9 at room temperature thus far. This remains very puzzling, given the atomically flat interfaces of the 2D materials. By varying the active area and perimeter of RTDs based on a graphene/hexagonal boron nitride/graphene heterostructure, we discovered that the edge doping can play a dominant role in determining the resonant tunneling, and a large area-to-perimeter ratio is necessary to obtain a high PVR. The understanding enables establishing a novel design rule and results in a PVR of 14.9, which is at least a factor of 3.8 higher than previously reported graphene RTDs. Furthermore, a theory is developed allowing extraction of the edge doping depth for the first time.
