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

One- and two-dimensional (1D-2D) heterostructures have drawn growing interest due to their appealing optoelectronic and catalytic properties. Controlling the band alignment of 1D-2D heterostructures is crucial for their large-scale applications, but remains challenging to achieve experimentally. Here, we report a strategy for the atomically precise fabrication of 1D graphene nanoribbon (GNR) homojunctions and a variety of 1D-GNRs/2D-CuSe vertical heterostructures on Cu(111) substrate. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, non-contact atomic force microscopy characterizations and density functional theory calculations, the entire preparative process is fully visualized. The GNR homojunctions, which bridge the Cu(111) substrate and the semiconducting CuSe monolayer, show a p-n junction characteristic. The hybrid heterostructures display various band alignments, achieved by varying the width and edge topologies of the GNRs, as well as controlling two different semiconducting phases of the CuSe monolayer. This work offers a promising method to precisely synthesize 1D/2D heterostructures with diverse band alignments for applications in high-performance nanodevices.
