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

While nuclear quantum effects influence autoionization in ambient-condition bulk water, their impact on autoionization-driven phase transitions is only observed at extreme conditions (in the range of many tens or hundreds of GPa). Here, we show that, for a monolayer of water in uniform nanoconfinement, nuclear quantum effects induce a superionic phase transition under milder conditions than in bulk. Our calculations suggest that this effect brings superionic behaviour into pressure regimes much closer to those accessible in current 2D-material-water encapsulation experiments.
