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

A major issue that prevents a full understanding of heterogeneous materials is the lack of systematic first-principles methods to consistently predict energetics and electronic properties of reconstructed interfaces. In this work we address this problem with an efficient and accurate computational scheme. We extend the minima-hopping method implementing constraints crafted for two-dimensional atomic relaxation and enabling variations of the atomic density close to the interface. A combination of density-functional and accurate density-functional tight-binding calculations supply energy and forces to structure prediction. We demonstrate the power of this method by applying it to extract structure-property relations for a large and varied family of symmetric and asymmetric tilt boundaries in polycrystalline silicon. We find a rich polymorphism in the interface reconstructions, with recurring bonding patterns that we classify in increasing energetic order. Finally, a clear relation between bonding patterns and electrically active grain boundary states is unveiled and discussed.
