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

Unlike perovskite-based ferroelectrics, whose polarization typically diminishes at reduced thickness, doped hafnia films retain robust ferroelectricity down to 1-nanometer thickness. Accurate structural determination is crucial for understanding this behavior, as ferroelectricity in ultrathin hafnia-based films has been attributed to enhanced polar distortion in their crystal structures. However, precise identification is challenging because of structural similarities among various polymorphs. Here, we experimentally identify the emergence of an unconventional ferroelectric Pmn2
