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

High-harmonic generation (HHG) has provided groundbreaking insights into nonequilibrium dynamics involving strong light-matter interactions. However, intrinsic quantum effects of condensed matter, such as electronic coherence and its interplay with nuclear degrees of freedom─one of the most fascinating aspects of quantum mechanics─have largely been overlooked. Here, we explore the nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) on electronic coherence in solid-state HHG. Unlike classical nuclei, the strong delocalization of the nuclei caused by zero-point vibrations induces electronic decoherence on an ultrafast (attosecond to femtosecond) timescale through nuclear-electronic entanglement. In this manner, NQEs not only contribute to the ultrafast dephasing of HHG but also suppress the interband electron trajectory and thus switch the dominant mechanism from interband to intraband HHG in solids. This yields measurable signatures in HHG spectroscopy, enabling direct probe of coherence time and nuclear wave packets information in materials.
