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 use of ultrashort laser pulses to manipulate properties or investigate a materials response on femtosecond time-scales enables detailed tracking of charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom. When pushing the limits of experimental resolution, connection to theoretical modeling becomes increasingly important to infer causality relations. Weyl-semimetals are a particular class of materials of recent focus due to the topological protection of the Weyl-nodes, resulting in a number of fundamentally interesting phenomena. This work provides a first-principles framework based on time-dependent density-functional theory for tracking the distribution of Weyl-nodes in the Brillouin-zone following an excitation by a laser pulse. Investigating the prototype material TaAs, we show that residual shifts in the Weyl-Nodes' position and energy distribution are induced by a photo-excitation within femto-seconds through band-structure renormalization. Further, we provide an analysis of the relaxation pathway of the photoexcited band-structure through lattice vibrations.
