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

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are an ideal platform for investigating the quantum confinement properties of Dirac fermions and exhibit significant potential for exploring novel physical phenomena absent in intrinsic graphene. Recently, the growing demand for relativistic confined systems with multiple tunable parameters has attracted much attention to the study of artificial GQDs. In this article, we review the recent experimental progress of artificial GQDs by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Our review begins with an overview of the recent methods for fabricating GQDs. And then we introduce the novel findings proposed in different GQD systems, including atomic collapse states, molecular collapse states, correlation-induced spin-charge separation in monolayer GQDs, and the rotational symmetry broken states in Bernal-stacked bilayer GQDs. Moreover, the modulation of GQD properties through STM tip, external electric and magnetic fields are summarized. Lastly, we provide a perspective on future development in this field.
