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

For scaled transistors utilizing transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) channels, we demonstrate that the Ni0.19Nb1.16S2 is a promising contact material for n-type field-effect transistors (nFETs). This material is derived from the metallic TMDC NbS2 through Ni incorporation and enables monolayer MoS2-channel nFETs with Ni0.19Nb1.16S2 source/drain contacts to achieve higher on-state current and superior thermal stability up to 600 °C compared to devices with NbS2 or Ni contacts. Metallic NbS2, owing to its high work function, is suitable as a contact material for p-type FETs (pFETs). However, the incorporation of Ni atoms into NbS2 modifies both its crystal structure and work function, effectively converting its suitability from pFETs to nFETs applications. Therefore, Ni0.19Nb1.16S2 represents a promising contact material for MoS2-channel nFETs, while NbS2 remains appropriate for pFETs, thereby advancing CMOS integration process technology for TMDC-based CMOS devices.
