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

Wigner crystallization of free electrons at room temperature has been explored theoretically for a new class of metallic ultrathin (transdimensional) materials whose properties can be controlled by their thickness. Our calculations of the melting surface, critical electron density and temperature explain consistently the experimental data reported previously. We show that by reducing the material thickness one can Wigner-crystallize free electrons at room temperature to get them pinned onto a two-dimensional triangular lattice of a supersolid inside of the crystalline material. Such a solid melts and freezes reversibly with increase and decrease of electron doping or temperature, whereby its resistivity behaves opposite to the free electron gas model predictions.
