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 discovery of negative differential conductance (NDC) in a single molecule and mechanism controlling this phenomenon are important for molecular electronics. We investigated the electronic properties of a typical radical molecule 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrrolin-1-yloxy (CTPO) on an Au(111) surface using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy. Large NDC was observed in single CTPO molecules at the boundary of the crystal monolayer. The origin of observed NDC is revealed as the inelastic electron-phonon scattering during tunneling, and the strong spatial variation of the NDC over the single molecule illustrates the nature of the localized radical group. In addition, the NDC can be transformed into a positive differential conductance peak by tuning coupling strengths between different tunneling channels. An empirical multi-channel model has been developed to describe the competition between the valley-shaped NDC and peak-shaped positive differential conductance. The unique electronic property and giant conductance change observed in this radical molecule is valuable for designing novel molecular devices in the future.
