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

Van der Waals (vdW) materials have emerged as a promising platform for next-generation nanophotonics and optoelectronics. However, employing vdW materials as a core photonic integration platform, rather than as passive or active overlays on conventional silicon-based platforms, remains challenging, leaving their full potential untapped. Here we develop a nanofabrication strategy that enables high-resolution patterning across a broad range of vdW materials, including insulators, semiconductors, ferroelectrics and their heterostructures, and we show that they can be used as the intrinsic platform for low-loss microcavity nonlinear photonic devices such as microdisks, photonic crystals and metasurfaces. We demonstrate vdW microdisk resonators with quality (Q) factors exceeding 10
