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

A magnetic heliknoton is the three-dimensional counterpart to the two-dimensional magnetic skyrmion, and serves as a pivotal topological soliton for extending topological magnetism into three dimensions. However, its experimental realization remains elusive. Here we report the controlled nucleation of a magnetic heliknoton in the chiral magnet FeGe at zero magnetic field, achieved through nanoscale current-pulse excitation. By combining angle-dependent quantitative electron holography with micromagnetic simulations, we resolve the three-dimensional spin texture of the heliknoton. In particular, the heliknoton exhibits current-driven collinear motion without the Hall effect. Our findings establish a readily accessible experimental platform for further exploration of three-dimensional topological solitons and highlight their potential for practical applications.
