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.
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
Excitonic condensation refers to the spontaneous formation of correlated electron-hole pairs. These collective states, also known as excitonic insulator, are expected to lead to intriguing many-body physics such as Bose-Einstein-condensates and Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover. While the occurrence of excitonic insulator has been confirmed by measuring charge gaps, related macro-quantum phenomenon are less often observed. Here we report the signature of exciton insulator and its superfluidity in dual-gate few layer black phosphorus. Using Fourier transform infrared photo-current spectroscopy, we characterize the behavior of electron-hole pairs in black phosphorus. When shrinking the bandgap of photo-excited black phosphorus by electric displacement, we observe excitonic insulator formation featured by a sharp change of infrared photo-current spectrum and charge compressibility. This condensation presents a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer -like temperature dependence with a critical temperature of ~17 K. We observe that the intrinsic black phosphorus photocurrent simultaneously vanishes with the formation of excitonic condensation. This vanished photocurrent is resilient against reasonable in-plane electric fields, indicating robust electron-hole pair binding state and providing evidence for the potential superfluidity of the exciton bosons. Our work not only reveals the exotic quantum phases and unusual orderings in excitonic insulator, but also provides a perspective for the study of composite Fermions.
