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

We address the connection between negative electronic friction and non-Markovian effects in the nonadiabatic vibrational dynamics of molecules interacting with metal surfaces under nonequilibrium conditions. We show that a generic nonequilibrium mechanism leading to negative Markovian electronic friction, where molecular vibrations couple directly to inelastic electronic transitions, also introduces significant non-Markovian contributions to the electronic friction. To demonstrate these ideas, we investigate nonequilibrium charge transport through a molecular nanojunction containing a vibrationally coupled donor-acceptor model, where negative electronic friction reflects driving of the vibrational mode beyond standard Joule heating. By comparison to numerically exact, fully quantum hierarchical equations of motion simulations, we verify that these non-Markovian effects have a significant impact on the nonequilibrium dynamics and even on the stability of the resulting Langevin equation.
