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

Low-dimensional magnet/superconductor hybrid systems have been proposed as a platform for achieving topological superconductivity. Here we showcase the supramolecular assembly of organic radicals directly on superconducting Pb(111), whose charge state can be controlled from anionic to neutral by the electric field of the scanning tunneling microscope. The anionic molecules obtained by an electron given by the substrate carry a spin-1/2 state and form a two-dimensional spin lattice, as confirmed by the observation of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov subgap states in tunneling spectra. At the boundary of the molecular domains, low-energy subgap states appear localized with high intensity at edges compared to the interior of the island. Tight-binding simulations suggest that their localization and spectral signatures are consistent with the emergence of topologically protected modes. Our results pave the way for the design of organic/superconductor hybrid systems with the potential to realize topological superconductivity.
