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

Strong electron-phonon coupling described by the Holstein Hamiltonian governs the optical response of many molecular quantum materials. Here, we investigate epitaxial overlayers of 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexamethoxytriphenylene grown on graphene/SiC using Fourier transform photocurrent spectroscopy, photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and surface-sensitive microscopy. We resolve a vibronic manifold consistent with Davydov splitting arising from the P63/m crystal symmetry, which lifts the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) degeneracy into bright and dark excitonic branches. Using a tight-binding model parametrized by experiment, we determine the intermolecular coupling, polarization energy, Huang-Rhys factor, and Herzberg-Teller corrections to the Franck-Condon model. The results indicate polaron-mediated relaxation into the lower-energy branch, consistent with Kasha's rule. The developed graphene-supported molecular heterostructure provides a scalable platform for studying dark excitons and vibronic coupling in organic quantum materials.
