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

A remarkable feature of disordered solids distinct from crystals is the violation of the Debye scaling law of the low-frequency vibrational density of states. Because the low-frequency vibration is responsible for many properties of solids, it is crucial to elucidate it for disordered solids. Numerous recent studies have suggested power-law scalings of the low-frequency vibrational density of states, but the scaling exponent is currently under intensive debate. Here, by classifying disordered solids into stable and unstable ones, we find two distinct and robust scaling exponents for non-phononic modes at low frequencies. Using the competition of these two scalings, we clarify the variation of the scaling exponent and hence reconcile the debate. Via the study of both ordinary and ultra-stable glasses, our work reveals a comprehensive picture of the low-frequency vibration of disordered solids and sheds light on the low-frequency vibrational features of ultra-stable glasses on approaching the ideal glass.
