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

Colloidal 2D PbX (X = S, Se, Te) nanocrystals are innovative materials pushing the boundaries of quantum confinement by combining crystal thicknesses down to a monolayer with additional confinement in the lateral dimension. These flat PbSe quantum dots (fQDs) exhibit telecommunication band photoluminescence (1.43-0.83 eV), which is highly interesting for fiber optic information processing. With scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), we probe single-layer-defined fQD populations down to one monolayer, showing an in-gap state free QD-like density of states in excellent agreement with theoretical tight-binding (TB) calculations. Cryogenic ensemble spectra match STS/STM and TB calculations and exhibit the contribution of mono-, bi-, and trilayers to the photoluminescence. Comparing the electronic band gaps with the optical ones, we derive exciton binding energies as high as 600 meV for PbSe monolayers. Our results allow for a target-oriented synthesis of a
