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

Development of functional nanocrystals requires precise control over their composition and structure. Particularly, surface composition, defects, and doping play a central role in our ability to develop functional nanomaterials. As such, there is great interest in capturing these properties. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for probing structural and compositional features at the atomic scale, in particular, when it is coupled with the high sensitivity gained by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). DNP enhances NMR sensitivity by transferring high electron spin polarization to the surrounding nuclear spins. This dramatically improves the signal intensity, making it a valuable tool for detecting subtle structural features. Utilizing metal ion dopants as polarization agents for DNP has been shown to be an excellent approach to increasing ssNMR sensitivity in the bulk of inorganic solids. Here, we demonstrate the implementation of this approach to nanocrystals, focusing on Mn(II)-doped CdS, where homogeneous doping is known to be challenging while being critical for the DNP process. The intricate nature of the doping was elucidated by quantitative electron microscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. We confirmed that Mn(II) doping is confined to the core of the nanocrystals and that statistically dopants are homogeneously distributed within each nanocrystal. DNP from Mn(II) dopants is then shown to increase
