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

2D materials provide ideal platforms for breakthroughs in both fundamental science and practical, real-world applications. Despite the broad diversity of 2D materials, most integration efforts have focused on homo/hetero-structural stacking and Janus structures. In this paper, we introduce "glaphene"-a hybrid of two fundamentally different materials: 2D silica glass and graphene. We propose a metastable hybrid structure based on first-principles calculations, synthesize it via scalable liquid precursor-based vapor-phase growth, and chemically validate the interlayer structure and hybridization using extensive optical and electron spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and atomic-resolution electron microscopy. Using probe microscopy, we reveal that electronic cloud redistribution at the interface-beyond conventional van der Waals interactions-drives interlayer hybridization via a strong electronic proximity effect. By reconstructing the energy level diagram of glaphene through both theory and experiment, we show that the combination of semi-metallic graphene (E
