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

Magnetic impurities in superconductors host Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states, whereas weak superconducting junctions sustain subharmonic charge transport through multiple Andreev reflections (MAR). We explore these phenomena using a molecular-scale junction created by placing a nickelocene (Nc) molecule atop an Fe adatom on Pb(111) and approaching it with a superconducting scanning-tunneling-microscope tip. Gradually increasing the junction transparency drives the system from conventional YSR spectroscopy in the tunneling regime to resonant MAR transport and, ultimately, to a Josephson-coupled state. The resulting spectra exhibit shifted MAR thresholds, asymmetric line shapes, and odd-even features that identify YSR-assisted MAR. A combined theoretical treatment of junction transparency and exchange coupling accounts for these observations, while density-functional calculations show that the Nc-Fe complex forms an antiferromagnetic ground state with a residual Fe spin-
