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

Chiral phonons are mirror-symmetric vibrations with nonzero angular momenta that correspond to twisting and rotational motions of multiple atoms. In chiral crystals, these include low-energy terahertz (THz)-range vibrations of the molecular segments involving dozens of atoms with energies sensitive to molecular chirality. Here, we present spectral signatures of chiral phonons in circularly polarized Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra from enantiomers of amino acid crystals. Along with complementary THz circular dichroism (TCD) measurements, our ROA data reveal several vibrational bands in enantiomers of valine, alanine, tyrosine, and proline between 30 and 150 cm
