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

Exciton dissociation in semiconducting nanostructures is crucial for optoelectronic applications, especially when free-carrier generation is required. Despite considerable research, the question of whether and how such generation occurs in strongly excitonic systems remains elusive. Here, we use one-dimensional precision graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as a model system to investigate exciton dissociation. We systematically explore the interplay between ribbon length (l), excitation energy, and band dispersion in various precision GNRs. Ultrafast Terahertz conductivity measurements reveal that hot exciton dissociation dominates carrier generation, with ribbon length significantly influencing free carrier lifetimes. We identify a critical Bjerrum length (R
