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

AB-stacked bilayer graphene has emerged as a fascinating yet simple platform for exploring macroscopic quantum phenomena of correlated electrons. Under large electric displacement fields and near low-density van-Hove singularities, it exhibits a phase with features consistent with Wigner crystallization, including negative dR/dT and nonlinear bias behavior. However, direct evidence for the emergence of an electron crystal at zero magnetic field remains elusive. Here, we explore low-frequency noise consistent with depinning and sliding of a Wigner crystal or solid. At large magnetic fields, we observe enhanced noise at low bias current and a frequency-dependent response characteristic of depinning and sliding, consistent with earlier scanning tunnelling microscopy studies confirming Wigner crystallization in the fractional quantum Hall regime. At zero magnetic field, we detect pronounced AC noise whose peak frequency increases linearly with applied DC current-indicative of collective electron motion. These transport signatures pave the way toward confirming an anomalous Hall crystal.
