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

Lithography, the transfer of patterns to a film or substrate, is the basis by which many modern technological devices and components are produced. However, established lithographic approaches generally use complex techniques, expensive equipment, and advanced materials. Here, we introduce a water-based microcontact printing method using silk that is simple, inexpensive, ecofriendly, and recyclable. Whereas the traditional microcontact printing technique facilitates only negative lithography, the synergetic interaction of the silk, water, and common chemicals in our technique enables both positive and negative patterning using a single stamp. Among diverse application possibilities, we exemplify a proof of concept of the method through optimizing its metal lift-off process and demonstrate the fabrication of electromagnetic metamaterial elements on both solid and flexible substrates. The results indicate that the method demonstrated herein is universally applicable to device production and technology development.
