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

Uncovering kinetics of sublimation atomically is critical to understanding both natural phenomena and advanced manufacturing technologies. Here, direct in situ atomic-scale observations to understand the effects of size, surface, and defects in the sublimation process of supported silver nanoparticles upon heating within an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy are conducted. Atomic-scale evidence to sublimation and atomic rearrangement in small Ag nanoparticles during heating is provided, and it is demonstrated that the sublimation-induced stable surfaces in the particles with a size smaller than ≈30 nm are {111} and {100} planes. The role of surface energy and defects in the uniform and nonuniform sublimation pathways at the atomic scale is also revealed, and it is found that the nanoparticles with low surface energy tend to undergo a uniform sublimation pathway, while those with high surface energy or five-fold twin grain boundary proceed via a nonuniform sublimation pathway. Further dynamic analysis unravels a critical size of ≈8 nm for the transformation from linear to nonlinear sublimation rates in the two pathways. These findings demonstrate that the size, shape, and defects are of paramount importance for the sublimation dynamics in the first-order phase transformation, helping to advance the general understanding of many technological applications.
