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 skyrmions are topologically protected spin textures characterized by their whirling structure, high stability, and potential for next-generation magnetic devices. However, their practical implementation has been hindered by the absence of methods for ultrafast and energy-efficient skyrmion writing and erasure. We theoretically propose the generation of a picosecond-scale photoinduced radial current that produces an azimuthally polarized spin-orbit torque in a heavy-metal/ferromagnet heterostructure. This approach enables ultrafast (< 50 ps) generation and controlled transitions between four distinct types of topological skyrmionic quasiparticles. Our results establish a versatile platform for optically controlled topological magnetism and open pathways for high-speed, low-power spin-based memory and logic technologies.
