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

Nanoscale control of energy transport is a central challenge in modern photonics. Utilization of exciton-polaritons-hybrid light-matter quasiparticles-is one viable approach, but it typically demands complex device engineering to enable directional transport. Here, it is demonstrated that the van der Waals magnet CrSBr offers an inherent avenue for steering polariton transport leveraging a unique combination of intrinsic optical anisotropy, high refractive index, and excitons dressed by photons. This combination enables low-loss guided modes that propagate over 50 µm along the crystal a-axis, while simultaneously inducing strong 1D confinement by forbidding transport along the orthogonal b-axis. By embedding CrSBr flakes in a microcavity, the confinement is further enhanced, as evidenced by energy modes that are discretized along the b axis but continuous along the a axis. Moreover, the magneto-exciton coupling characteristic of CrSBr allows unprecedented control over both unidirectional propagation and confinement. The results establish CrSBr as a versatile polaritonic platform for integrated optoelectronic device applications, including energy-efficient optical modulators and switches.
