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

Nanoscale scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a powerful scanning probe technique that enables high-resolution imaging of chemical processes at single nanometer-sized objects. However, it has been a challenging task to quantitatively understand nanoscale SECM images, which requires accurate characterization of the size and geometry of nanoelectrode tips. Herein, we address this challenge through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of quartz nanopipets for SECM imaging of single solid-state nanopores by using nanopipet-supported interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) as tips. We take advantage of the high resolution of TEM to demonstrate that laser-pulled quartz nanopipets reproducibly yield not only an extremely small tip diameter of ∼30 nm, but also a substantial tip roughness of ∼5 nm. The size and roughness of a nanopipet can be reliably determined by optimizing the intensity of the electron beam not to melt or deform the quartz nanotip without a metal coating. Electrochemically, the nanoscale ITIES supported by a rough nanotip gives higher amperometric responses to tetrabutylammonium than expected for a 30 nm diameter disc tip. The finite element simulation of sphere-cap ITIES tips accounts for the high current responses and also reveals that the SECM images of 100 nm diameter Si
