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

Encoding and manipulating digital information in quantum degrees of freedom is one of the major challenges of today's science and technology. The valley indices of excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are well-suited to addressing this challenge. Here, we employ mechanical strain to manipulate intervalley interactions and tune the valley polarization dynamics of excitons across a broader range of momentum space in monolayer TMDs. We use strain engineering to form valley-hybridized excitons that combine the advantages of bright intravalley excitons, where the valley index directly couples to light polarization, and dark intervalley excitons, characterized by low depolarization rates. We demonstrate that these valley-hybridized excitons exhibit signatures of coherently coupled states with a 100-fold reduction in valley depolarization rate and up to a 5-fold increase in steady-state valley polarization compared to previously studied excitons. Our findings of strain-tunable valley character of excitons advance the applications of TMDs in valleytronics.
