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

Achieving maximum circular dichroism (CD) at nanoscale stands as an ultimate goal in chiral photonics, but it remains challenging for conventional chiral materials and anisotropic crystals. While two-dimensional van der Waals materials and their twisted assemblies have enabled atomic-scale control of chiral light-matter interactions, the attainable CD magnitudes are still limited due to the lack of versatile design and fabrication strategies. Here we demonstrate that the giant CD in twisted hyperbolic van der Waals homostructures originates from microscopic linear dichroism-linear birefringence (LD-LB) interference, rather than intrinsic geometric chirality. By establishing a rigorous interlayer LD-LB coupling framework, we predict maximum CD in twisted MoOCl
