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

Solid-state spin defects are promising qubits for quantum network nodes. A key challenge toward larger networks is creating defects with high yield into nanophotonic devices while maintaining good optical and spin properties. Here, we demonstrate the creation of single V2 centers in nanopillars fabricated from commercial bulk-grown 4H-silicon carbide using a pulsed above-bandgap (UV) laser. We observe an 11-fold increase in the V2 center occurrence after UV laser illumination. These laser-induced V2 centers exhibit narrow optical line widths and spectral diffusion rates comparable to naturally occurring V2 centers in nanopillars of the same material. Furthermore, we measure a spin coherence time of
