Unveiling surface and subsurface atomic vacancies in MoS
Article in Nature communications, 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
Atomic-scale defects govern materials properties, with their influence amplified in low-dimensional systems. Understanding and controlling such defects is therefore essential for both fundamental science and technological applications. However, precise defect identification and localization remain major challenges. Lateral force microscopy (LFM), an atomic force microscopy mode that measures friction forces through the lateral torsion of the cantilever, is an appealing technique for probing surface properties. Nevertheless, it has conventionally been regarded as insensitive to structural features beneath the topmost atomic layer. In this study, we overturn this paradigm by demonstrating that LFM can not only detect but also classify atomic vacancies in MoS
