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

The ability to couple a solitary spin to high-frequency motion is a crucial advancement for a range of applications, including quantum sensing, intermediate and long-distance spin-spin coupling, and quantum information processing. Although proposed theoretically over a decade ago, experimental demonstrations have remained elusive. Here we report the observation of spin-mechanical coupling in a carbon nanotube device. We demonstrate this coupling in two configurations: off-resonant, with spin and mechanics excited by separate tones, and resonant, driven by a single tone. The coupling manifests as a shift and broadening of the electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR), respectively. Our theoretical model, which accounts for the tensor character of the coupling and mechanical non-linearity, reproduces the data with very good agreement. Our results demonstrate a previously unobserved spin-mechanical coupling, offering versatile tools for exploring macroscopic quantum phenomena, quantum thermodynamics, and quantum simulation.
