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

Over the past two decades, two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors have garnered significant attention in the field of light sources due to their unique optoelectronic properties, such as high excitonic binding energy, tunable bandgaps, and strong optical anisotropy. These properties make 2D vdW semiconductors highly promising for next-generation light sources, offering advantages like enhanced efficiency, wavelength tunability, and polarization control. In this review, we summarize the development of various 2D vdW material-based light sources and their modulation mechanisms. We first provide an overview of excitonic properties and light-emission principles that aim to develop light sources with low-power, high-efficiency. Next, we discuss advances in 2D semiconductor lasers, including intralayer and interlayer exciton lasers, cavity-free systems, and exciton-polariton sources. We then look into single-photon emission and their integration into on-chip systems, followed by studies on nonlinear optical properties like high-order harmonic generation and P-band emission. Additionally, we cover advancements in electrically pumped light sources. The review concludes with an outlook on future developments of 2D vdW semiconductor light sources.
