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

Controlling phase transition processes and the atomic structure of new states with light has emerged as a highly challenging frontiers in condensed matter physics and materials science. The conversion of graphite to diamond typically relies on high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, while the advent of ultrafast laser has opened entirely new possibilities for dynamically controlling such structural transformation under non-thermodynamic state. Herein, employing state-of-the-art first-principles non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations, we elucidate ultrafast pathways of light-induced graphite-to-diamond phase transition and reveal the laws governing the selective formation of cubic or hexagonal diamond, as well as their subsequent structural evolution, by regulating laser parameters. Such optically controlled diamond formation stems from early-stage structural reconstruction driven by electron-phonon couplings and indirect excitation of specific phonon modes (e.g.
