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

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) was recently observed in photoexcited donor-chiral bridge-acceptor molecules, but a predictive theory able to explain available experiments is still lacking. Here, we show that torsional modes modulating hopping and spin-orbit coupling give rise to a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction between the transferred electron and the one sitting on the donor, producing high spin polarization for realistic parameters. Our model introduces a low-energy scale in the spin dynamics that explains the magnetic field dependence observed in EPR measurements and predicts a nontrivial temperature dependence, as demonstrated by numerical simulations. The present theory lays the foundations for future test bed experiments and for the design of applications in spintronics and quantum technologies.
