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

Molecular electron spin qubits show great potential for quantum information storage and processing but require paramagnetic systems with slow relaxation, where coherence is limited by spin-phonon coupling. Understanding this coupling remains challenging due to scarce observables and conflicting models, making direct experimental insights crucial. Vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman) under magnetic fields provides a promising approach. Here, we present the first comprehensive simulation protocol to extract spin-phonon coupling parameters from THz EPR/Magnetic IR spectra. Different spectral features are illustrated using a one-phonon model, emphasizing cases where the coupling is weaker than the line width. Using a tetrahedral high-spin Co(II) complex, we validate the method and benchmark it against quantum-chemical calculations. The dominant coupling is attributed to a twisting mode of the first coordination sphere. Excellent agreement among experiment, simulation, and computation demonstrates the power of THz EPR/Magnetic IR spectroscopy as a direct probe of spin-phonon coupling.
