Topological Fermi arc interference on low-symmetry Weyl surfaces.
Article in Nature communications, 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
Topological materials are defined by the correspondence between bulk topology and boundary states, yet this correspondence becomes enigmatic on low-symmetry surfaces where bulk and surface periodicities may not coincide within a conventional first bulk Brillouin zone projection. Here we study the (103) surface of the Weyl semimetal NdAlSi and identify Fermi arc interference in the boundary spectrum. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy uncovers loop-like Fermi-arc connectivity and characteristic replica modulations that are not observed on high symmetry surfaces. Crucially, the topological surface states themselves are reconstructed because Fermi arcs from phase-shifted bulk-zone projections overlap and hybridize, producing connectivity patterns unique to low-symmetry facets. We show that these emerge from incomplete bulk projection and multi-cell interference governed by a least-common-multiple framework. Least-common-multiple guided density functional theory and Green's-function calculations reproduce the reconstructed periodicity and dominant replica structure in the spectra, providing a broadly applicable commensuration guideline. These findings resolve the apparent bulk-boundary correspondence paradox on low-symmetry surfaces and provide an operational route to model and interpret boundary spectra on complex facets.
