Ultranarrow Germanene Nanoribbons with Pentagonal Rings.
Article in Nano letters, 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
One-dimensional elemental nanostructures, exemplified by graphene nanoribbons, hold great potential for advanced nanoelectronics, which can be further expanded by composition of heavier group 14 elements. Although the synthesis of germanene nanoribbons (GeNRs) has been recently demonstrated through high-temperature Ge atom segregation onto Pt and Ag adlayers from stepped Ge(110) bulk crystals, atomic-scale control of their structures remains unexplored. Here, we present ultranarrow GeNRs composed exclusively of pentagonal rings via thermal treatment of germanium clusters onto Ag(111) at 300 K with high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy. Field-effect resonant tunneling spectra supported by ab initio calculations reveal that the work function of GeNRs is moderately higher than that of pristine Ag(111), resulting in a directional interfacial charge modulation. Our findings suggest that the GeNR/Ag(111) system offers an atomically defined platform for studying metal contacts, work function engineering, resonant tunneling, and substrate-stabilized one-dimensional electronic states as well as mechanical properties.
