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

High-quality two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are crucial for exploring intrinsic electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum transport phenomena. Although flux-based growth produces ultrapure TMD crystals with low defect densities, its broader adoption is limited by long growth cycles, low yield, and extensive post-growth purification. Here, we report a substrate-assisted flux method (SAFM) that enables rapid synthesis of quantum-grade TMD single crystals with enhanced yield and no post-growth purification. By introducing sapphire into a Se-rich flux environment, SAFM enables vapor-mediated precursor delivery and vertical crystal growth under isothermal conditions, as supported by density functional theory calculations. Consequently, millimeter-scale WSe
