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

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) agglomerates can be aligned along field lines between adjacent electrodes to form conductive bridges. This study discusses the step-wise process of dielectrophoretic deposition of CNTs to form conducting bridges between adjacent electrodes. For the first time, the creation of conductive CNT bridges spanning lengths over 50 microns is demonstrated. The CNT bridges are permanently secured using electrodeposition of the conducting polymer polypyrrole. Morphologies of the CNT bridges formed within a frequency range of 1 kHz and 10 MHz are explored and explained as a consequence of interplay between dielectrophoretic and electroosmotic forces. Postdeposition heat treatment increases the conductivity of CNT bridges, likely due to solvent evaporation and resulting surface tension inducing better contact between CNTs.
