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

Near-field Raman spectroscopy has found widespread applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Recent advances in tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), performed under ultrahigh vacuum and low-temperature conditions, have achieved atomic-scale Raman imaging by precisely controlling subnanometer plasmonic fields, known as picocavities. This technique also enables the observation of Raman scattering in previously inaccessible regimes, including quantum point contacts formed with a single atom or molecule. In this Mini-Review, we highlight the versatility of point-contact TERS not only for atomic-scale chemical analysis but also for a unique platform to explore light-matter interactions in nonequilibrium quantum systems. In particular, point-contact TERS underscores that Raman scattering in picocavities is highly sensitive to picoscale structural changes. This provides new opportunities for characterizing atomic-scale structures, controlling photoinduced reactions, and advancing single-molecule optoelectronics and optomechanics using picocavities, with the potential for investigating ultrafast phenomena by integration of nonlinear spectroscopy with point-contact TERS.
