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

The precise spatial engineering of quantum phases stands as a major challenge in condensed matter physics, with profound implications for fundamental science and quantum technologies. While moiré heterostructures have enabled remarkable tunability on the correlated states, the deterministic spatial manipulation of emergent quantum phases like superconductivity and magnetism remains an open challenge. Here, we investigate hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)-aligned twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), in which fabrication-induced uniaxial heterostrain gives rise to a periodic quasi-one-dimensional (1D) super-moiré supercell. This supercell imprints a striking chain-like architecture onto the electronic states. Using atomic-scale spectroscopy and point-contact Andreev reflection, we demonstrate that intrinsic superconductivity arising from TBG emerges exclusively within these nanoscale channels, a phenomenon unprecedented in other quantum materials. Furthermore, we show that the superconducting state is governed by the local inversion symmetry, which can be deliberately tuned via the moiré registry with the hBN substrate. This work establishes a structural approach to atomically pattern quantum phases, bridging the gap between nanoscale symmetry control and macroscopic quantum functionality. Our results position super-moiré lattices as a programmable platform for quantum phase design, opening routes to explore exotic dimensionality crossovers in correlated electron systems.
