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

Optically addressable molecular spins are a promising qubit platform, combining the chemical versatility, atomistic tunability, nanoscale modularity, and structural diversity of molecules with the coherence, detection sensitivity, and remote connectivity of optically readable spins. Here, we review progress developing and deploying optically readable molecular spin qubits and the key opportunities they present, with a particular focus on quantum sensing. We survey key criteria for realizing optically addressable spin qubits in molecules; discuss existing and emerging platforms-spanning coordination complexes, organic molecules, and both ground and excited-state spins; and outline emerging applications, open challenges, and opportunities for combining the richness of chemical systems with the power of optically readable spin qubits. Graphical abstract: Optically addressable molecular spins as chemically versatile qubits.
