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

We investigate emergent superconductivity and nonreciprocal transport (magnetochiral anisotropy and superconducting diode effect) at the heterointerface of two nonsuperconducting van der Waals (vdW) materials, Dirac semimetal ZrTe2 and antiferromagnetic iron chalcogenide FeTe, grown using molecular beam epitaxy. We show from electrical transport measurements that two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity arises at the heterointerface below a critical temperature (Tc) of ∼10 K. In the superconducting transition region, nonreciprocal transport, characterized by magneto-chiral anisotropy, exhibits a magnitude comparable to that observed in topological insulators and is enhanced by a factor of 3 when the heterostructure is capped with a 2D vdW ferromagnet (CrTe2). Below Tc, the superconducting diode effect exhibits an efficiency of 29%. With strong spin-orbit coupling in ZrTe2, these epitaxial heterostructures provide an attractive epitaxial vdW platform for exploring unconventional superconductivity in Dirac semimetals and for developing nonreciprocal devices for superconducting electronics.
