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 the realm of wireless sensing, it is envisioned that sensing and communication functionalities will coexist and be fully integrated within a unified system. Future sensing systems thus necessitate detectors capable of operating at higher frequency bands-ranging from millimeter wave to terahertz (THz)-while delivering wider bandwidths, faster response rates, and enhanced functional integration. Dirac-source (DS) detectors use Dirac semimetals as hot-electron sources to capitalize on the low density of states (DOS) near the Dirac point, thereby effectively suppressing the formation of metal-induced gap states. Furthermore, when this architecture incorporates the inherent interlayer vertical electron transport of vertical van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, it shows great promise for realizing low-power, post-Moore era sensing devices with superior injection and transport efficiencies. Here, we report a DS detector composed of the completely vertical gold/zirconium pentatelluride/graphene/gold structure (Au/ZrTe
