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

The manganese pnictide CaMn[Formula: see text]Bi[Formula: see text] exhibits narrow-gap antiferromagnetism with Mn atoms arranged in a puckered honeycomb structure, and is currently a promising candidate for ultra-fast light control of AFM states. In this paper, we perform a detailed study of the magnetic properties of CaMn[Formula: see text]Bi[Formula: see text] using density functional theory (DFT) combined with the Hubbard U correction and spin-orbit coupling, which accurately describe the magnetic configurations. In DFT+U approach, we apply an on-site U not only to Mn-3d orbitals but also to Bi-6p ones to improve the description of Mn–Bi hybridization and the small SOC-driven gap. We show that a standard Heisenberg spin model is insufficient to describe these magnetic excitations, and an extended model accurately describes these using local on-site magnetization terms, linked to the Néel vector and inspired by Hubbard-model physics. We further investigate the role of the spin-orbit coupling, and find that the magnetic anisotropy of CaMn[Formula: see text]Bi[Formula: see text] shows an easy plane, with the preferred magnetization direction being exchanged between axes in the plane by applying small strain values. This strain-tunable magnetization, driven by the interplay between spin-orbit interactions and lattice distortions, highlights the potential for controlling magnetic states in Mn-pnictides for future applications in spintronic and magneto-optical devices.
