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 rotation of electromagnetic wave polarization by a magnetized medium has been of interest in understanding light-matter interactions with broken time-reversal symmetry since Faraday's discovery of the effect. Faraday rotation is typically a weak effect, relying on light-matter interactions that are detuned from resonance to minimize absorption loss. Here we show that a Faraday rotation of 82° can be realized on a single pass through a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas approaching the ideal limit of 90°. Near-total rotation is achieved in the electron gas by the classical Hall effect. Cyclotron resonance loss is minimized and rotation enhanced by the combined effect of operating at frequencies where electron motion is inertial and introducing a reactive electromagnetic element to modify the light-matter coupling. Our work demonstrates that the classical Hall effect could be well suited for engineering non-reciprocal devices that realize uni-directional electromagnetic wave propagation.
