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

Silicene is a two-dimensional silicon monolayer with a band gap caused by relatively strong spin-orbit coupling. This band gap can be steered using a vertical electric field. In turn, the change in this electric field value leads to a transition from a topological insulator to a bulk insulator regime. This study aims to develop a phase-space approach to detecting the topological phase transitions in silicene induced by the presence of parallel magnetic and electric fields with the aid of the concept of topological quantum number based on the Wigner-Rényi entropy. A reinterpreted definition of the Wigner distribution function is employed to determine this indicator. The topological phase transition in silicene as a function of the electric field in the presence of the magnetic field is confirmed through the use of the topological quantum number determined for the one-half, Shannon and collision entropies.
