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

We report the results of inelastic differential scattering experiments and full-dimensional molecular dynamics trajectory simulations for 2.76 eV H atoms colliding at a surface of solid xenon. The interaction potential is based on an effective medium theory (EMT) fit to density functional theory (DFT) energies. The translational energy-loss distributions derived from experiment and theory are in excellent agreement. By analyzing trajectories, we find that only a minority of the scattering results from simple single-bounce dynamics. The majority comes from multibounce collisions including subsurface scattering where the H atoms penetrate below the first layer of Xe atoms and subsequently re-emerge to the gas phase. This behavior leads to observable energy-losses as large as 0.5 eV, much larger than a prediction of the binary collision model (0.082 eV), which is often used to estimate the highest possible energy-loss in direct inelastic surface scattering. The sticking probability computed with the EMT-PES (0.15) is dramatically reduced (5 × 10
