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

Graphene exhibits the longest carrier mean free path of any known electronic material, yet only a few device concepts have successfully leveraged this exceptional property. Here, we present a ballistic graphene rectifier capable of operating at frequencies up to 3 THz, significantly extending the limits of direct current (DC) generation through rectification in two-dimensional materials. By engineering asymmetric nanojunction geometries in high-mobility monolayer graphene encapsulated in hBN, we harness ballistic transport over >100 nm length scales to achieve efficient rectification without relying on p-n junctions or Schottky barriers. The devices exhibit robust rectified signals, with voltage responsivities of 100 V/W, 20 pW/Hz
