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), a hallmark of attosecond science, is a nonperturbative nonlinear process in gases and solids. In gases, strong driving fields can deplete the ground state and suppress harmonic emission on the trailing edge of the pulse. Here we report an analogous effect in a gapless Dirac semimetal, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, where ultrafast carrier saturation suppresses harmonic emission during nonperturbative harmonic generation (NPHG). Using two-color spectroscopy, we track the excitation dynamics of Dirac electron-hole pairs during the driving pulse and show that the buildup of out-of-equilibrium hot carriers near the Dirac points suppresses interband harmonics and induces measurable femtosecond-scale temporal shifts. Our results reveal that field-driven carrier saturation critically shapes the interplay of interband and intraband currents in Dirac materials. These findings demonstrate the potential of NPHG and HHG as a sensitive, all-optical probe of ultrafast carrier dynamics, offering novel opportunities for ultrafast optoelectronics in Dirac materials.
