Symmetry driven altermagnetic spin splitting in hexagonal CrTe from first principles.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Altermagnets are a new class of magnetic states that exhibit substantial spin splitting while maintaining zero net magnetization without spin-orbit coupling. CrTe has experimentally been considered an antiferromagnetic (AFM) material. However, in this study, we demonstrate that CrTe exhibits the characteristics of an altermagnet rather than a conventional AFM through first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). We reveal a collinear magnetic order with significant spin splitting in certain antiferromagnetic configurations. This spin splitting indicates symmetry-protected spin polarization without net magnetization, suggesting that CrTe is a high-potential altermagnet candidate. Our findings contribute to the growing body of research on materials capable of generating spin transport without macroscopic magnetization, thereby providing new opportunities for spintronic applications.
