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 ability to manipulate magnons using electronic currents holds transformative potential for high-frequency signal processing architectures based on insulating magnetic materials. A critical challenge, however, lies in achieving efficient magnon emission and amplification through damping compensation, which typically requires ultra-thin films. In this study, we break this limitation by demonstrating a three-order-of-magnitude increase in magnon population, consistent with the onset of auto-oscillations upon reaching damping compensation, by injecting a spin current from a μm-wide Pt wire into a continuous 150 nm-thick yttrium iron garnet film. Using nonlocal magnon transport and Brillouin light scattering, we reveal that damping compensation occurs due to magnon self-localization beneath the Pt injector, which precludes radiation from the excited region. As a result, the nonlocal magnon conductance becomes mode-dependent and is significantly amplified by multi-magnon scattering at high magnon populations. Finally, we demonstrate that interfacial spin injection breaks yttrium iron garnet's inversion symmetry, leading to unidirectional magnon emission. Our results pave the way for the development of advanced magnonic devices, including directional magnon emitters, and offer a new approach to achieving damping compensation in thick magnetic films.
