Direct Synthesis of Ultrathin Hexagonal Boron Nitride Films on Si(001).
Article in Nano letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on CMOS-compatible substrates is desirable for large-scale fabrication of hBN-based micro- and optoelectronic devices. However, growth of well-oriented, high-quality hBN films via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on silicon substrates is still challenging. We report a new method to synthesize ultrathin, well-oriented hBN films on Si(001) substrates, based on a continuous flow CVD process using borazine as a single-source precursor. In addition, spectroscopic ellipsometry is explored as a fast, nondestructive method to determine the thickness, refractive index, and optical bandgap of the grown hBN films. The resulting hBN films exhibit a thickness of 7 ± 1 layers, near perfect stoichiometry, a surface roughness of 1.1 nm, a refractive index of 2.17 at 633 nm, and an optical bandgap of 5.89 eV. The use of borazine precursor avoids the availability of reactive nitrogen species and thus prevents the formation of an amorphous SiN
