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

In materials with broken inversion symmetry, nonreciprocal magneto-transport manifests as a bilinear dependence of charge conductivity on electric and magnetic fields. This phenomenon is rooted in symmetry and electronic quantum geometry and is relevant for rectification and detection technologies. Experimental studies generally attribute nonreciprocal magneto-transport to Zeeman-driven mechanisms and exhibit quadratic scaling with conductivity. Here, we report a microscopic mechanism based on Lorentz skew scattering in BiTeBr, arising from the cooperation of classical Lorentz force and quantum skew scattering, exhibiting a quartic scaling of the nonreciprocal response. Systematic measurements on samples with different mobilities reveal a crossover between Zeeman-related and Lorentz-skew scattering-dominated regimes, uncovering the mobility plays a central role in determining the dominant mechanism. Our finding unveils the leading mechanism in high-mobility systems and suggests a universal principle towards strong nonreciprocal response by enhancing electronic relaxation time in topological materials, rendering guidance for low-dissipation rectifiers and high-performance quantum electronics.
