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 superconducting Pb tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is functionalized with a single nickelocene (Nc) molecule and approached to individual Nc molecules embedded in a molecular island adsorbed on the (111) surface of the conventional superconductor Pb. Excitations of the tip and surface molecular spins that are coupled across the vacuum barrier via the magnetic exchange interaction are explored by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) from the far tunneling to the contact range of intermolecular distances. Depending on the tilt angle of Nc at the microscope probe, single spin and double spin flip energy levels cross for the straight Nc-terminated tip and exhibit avoided crossing for the tilted configuration. The crossing-to-anticrossing transition of spin excitation energy levels can be reproduced by simulations based on a spin Hamiltonian where the magnetic anisotropy tensor of the Nc tip is rigidly rotated.
