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

2D bismuth possesses a unique combination of properties, such as cryogenic-free quantum spin Hall effects and intrinsic single-element ferroelectricity, making it highly promising for next-generation electronic devices. However, the synthesis of 2D bismuth via exfoliation or direct growth is hindered by the low structural anisotropy of bulk bismuth crystals. To address this challenge, we demonstrate an unprecedented ice-confined bottom-up strategy for growing 2D bismuth. This approach involves kinetically controlled nucleation in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C), followed by redox-driven anisotropic growth within the confined space between ice and aluminum surfaces at -20 °C. The surfactant-free process yields solution-processable crystalline 2D bismuth with micrometer-scale lateral dimensions and atomic-level thickness, where 72% of the sheets are 1-3 layers thick. Thanks to its oxophilic surfaces, the as-grown 2D bismuth effectively captures CO
