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

Spin interactions between magnetic molecules and substrates are of fundamental importance, as they offer key insights into spin-related phenomena and underpin the development of energy-efficient spintronic devices. Transition-metal phthalocyanine (TMPc) molecules serve as exemplary model systems for probing these interactions, owing to their high structural stability, tunable magnetic moments, and well-defined local environment. When adsorbed on different substrates, TMPc molecules can exhibit a rich variety of spin-related phenomena including the Kondo effect, spin excitations, and Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states, which can be directly resolved by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). This review summarizes recent STM advances on the coexistence and competition of spin-related phenomena in TMPc adsorbates, emphasizing the underlying mechanisms and practical control strategies enabled by chemical design and electric- and magnetic-field stimuli, and concludes with an outlook on emerging directions for future research.
