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

The poor performance of molecular transistors is a major bottleneck for developing ultra-miniaturized integrated circuits. To date, the absence of a design-led strategy to systematically enhance the performance of fundamental molecular circuit components, coupled with sub-optimal device fabrication yields, has posed significant barriers to the widespread adoption and practical implementation of nanoelectronics. In this study, we report high-performance molecular transistors with a vertical configuration that employs self-assembled monolayers as the channel material and a top graphene electrode that allows external electro-gating. Leveraging on distinct hopping and tunneling charge transport mechanisms to mediate the ON and OFF transistor states, we achieve robust device performance at working CPU temperatures up to 350 K, with ON/OFF ratios exceeding 10
