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

Borophene-an atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) boron analogue of graphene-has attracted significant attention as a 2D synthetic platform. Since its initial experimental realization, borophene has proven to be a versatile 2D material due to its high polymorphism and amenability to heterostructure integration. Nevertheless, several synthetic challenges have hindered the practical utilization of borophene, primarily due to its high chemical reactivity and interlayer charge transfer with growth substrates. Here we discuss emerging synthesis strategies for borophene, ranging from on-surface synthesis using elemental and molecular boron sources to substrate segregation growth techniques and solution-based reactions. We also focus on the surface and interface engineering of borophene with the aim of tailoring chemical reactivity and electronic properties. Finally, we highlight the remaining unresolved synthetic challenges for borophene and suggest future directions for accelerating fundamental science and applied technology for boron in the 2D limit.
