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

Cavitation and hollow structures can be introduced in nanomaterials via the Kirkendall effect in an alloying or reaction system. By introducing dense nanoscale twins into copper nanowires (CuNWs), we change the surface structure and prohibit void formation in oxidation of the nanowires. The nanotwinned CuNW exhibits faceted surfaces of very few atomic steps as well as a very low vacancy generation rate at copper/oxide interfaces. Together they lower the oxidation rate and eliminate void formation at the copper/oxide interface. We propose that the slow reaction rate together with the highly effective vacancy absorption at interfaces leads to a lattice shift in the oxidation reaction. Our findings suggest that the nanoscale Kirkendall effect can be manipulated by controlling the internal and surface crystal defects of nanomaterials.
