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

While most approaches to polariton research focus on achieving strong coupling between excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and external microcavities, bulk TMDCs have been largely overlooked due to their reduced exciton oscillator strength and indirect bandgap nature. Here, we report the observation of polariton condensation within the indirect-transition range, enabled by a condensation mechanism in 50-nm-thick WS₂-based bound state in the continuum (BIC) cavities. Our photonic-like BIC polaritons exhibit a significant Rabi splitting energy ( ~ 294 meV) and clear evidence of condensation driven by a mechanism involving indirect excitons that directly inject photons into BIC polaritons. Remarkably, the interaction-induced confinement of polariton condensates can be optically tuned by adjusting the pump laser size, despite a minimal exciton fraction of 6%, distinguishing this system from purely photonic counterparts. These findings open new avenues for exploring polariton physics with indirect excitons in TMDCs and other emerging materials.
