Rare-earth single-atom materials: synthesis and applications.
Review in Chemical science, 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
Rare-earth (RE) single-atom materials have emerged as a frontier field in chemistry and materials science owing to the unique electronic structures of RE elements, particularly their partially filled 4f orbitals and large atomic radii. These intrinsic properties enable high coordination numbers, distinct f-d-p orbital hybridization and pronounced spin-orbit coupling, which collectively endow RE single atoms with exceptional catalytic activity, luminescence, stimuli responsiveness and related functionalities. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the synthesis, characterization and applications of RE single-atom materials. We also highlight the underlying mechanisms that link the unique structural features of RE single atoms to their functional performance. Finally, we discuss key challenges and future research directions, aiming to promote the rational design and effective utilization of RE elements in advanced chemistry and functional materials.
