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

Controlling the morphology and crystallographic coherence of assemblies of magnetic nanoparticles is a promising route to functional materials. Time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was combined with microscopy and scaling analysis to probe and analyze evaporation-induced assembly in levitating drops and thin films of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocubes in weak magnetic fields. We show that assembly of micrometer-sized mesocrystals with a cubic shape preceded the formation of fibers with a high degree of crystallographic coherence and tunable diameters. The second-stage assembly of aligned cuboidal mesocrystals into fibers was driven by the magnetic field, but the first-stage assembly of the oleate-capped nanocubes was unaffected by weak magnetic fields. The transition from 3D growth of the primary mesocrystals to the second stage 1D assembly of the elongated fibers was related to the size and field dependence of isotropic van der Waals and directional dipolar interactions between the interacting mesocrystals.
