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

Current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) is an effective approach to manipulate magnetic states in spintronic devices. Recent studies show picosecond electrical pulses can induce coherent magnetization switching, reducing switching time from nanosecond scale to picosecond scale. However, it remains unclear whether such ultrafast switching can be achieved in a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy system without an external magnetic field. Here, we demonstrate picosecond all-electrical magnetization switching in a CoTb/Ti/CoFeB/MgO heterostructure, where the in-plane magnetized CoTb layer acts as the SOT source, generating simultaneously in-plane spin current σ
