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

Two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs) or quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators, characterized by insulating 2D electronic band structures and metallic helical edge states protected by time-reversal symmetry, offer a platform for realizing the quantum spin Hall effect, making them promising candidates for future spintronic devices and quantum computing. However, observing a high-temperature quantum spin Hall effect requires large-gap 2D TIs, and only a few 2D systems have been experimentally confirmed to possess this property. In this study, we employ first-principles calculations, combined with a structural search based on an evolutionary algorithm, to predict a class of 2D QSH insulators in hafnium halides, namely, HfF, HfCl, and HfBr with sizable band gaps of 0.12, 0.19, and 0.38 eV. Their topological nontrivial nature is confirmed by a Z
