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

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), which refers to the ability of chiral molecules to preferentially select spins during electron transfer, has attracted great attention during the past two decades. However, the theoretical and experimental understanding of the CISS effect remains preliminary. In this study, we demonstrate that there is no distinguishable CISS effect in the case of coherent electron transport through single chiral molecular junctions for a set of four molecule studied here. Our conclusion is based on statistical evaluations of thousands of single-molecule junctions across four different molecules with different origins of chirality measured by the scanning tunneling microscope-based break-junction technique. The experimental results for all molecules show no dependence on external magnetic field or chirality in both conductance and current-voltage measurements. In addition,
