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

The mechanical behaviour of nanoporous gold has so far been the subject of studies for bicontinuous morphologies, while the load transfer between ligaments is the primary challenge for using nanoporous structures-especially membranes with nanopores-in single-molecule sensors. This work studies the pore shape effect on deformation mechanisms of nanoporous gold membranes through molecular dynamics simulations. Tension and compression tests are carried out for nanoporous gold with circular, elliptical, square and hexagonal pore shapes. A significant pore shape effect on the mechanical properties is observed with distinct load transfer capabilities. A uniform stress transfer between ligaments constitutes a distinguished set of mechanical responses for structures with the hexagonal pore shape under tension, while a unique stress distribution in nanoporous with the circular pore shape introduces a high strength and ductile structure under compression. Further to shed light on the existing experimental observations, this work provides a comprehensive study on load transfer capabilities in the mechanical behaviour of nanoporous gold for sensing applications.
