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

Discovering materials that are environmentally stable and also exhibit the necessary collection of properties required for a particular application is a perennial challenge in materials science. Herein, we present an algorithm to rapidly screen materials for their thermodynamic stability in a given environment, using a greedy approach. The performance was tested against the standard energy above the hull stability metric for inert conditions. Using data of 126 320 crystals, the greedy algorithm was shown to estimate the driving force for decomposition with a mean absolute error of 39.5 meV/atom, giving it sufficient resolution to identify stable materials. To demonstrate the utility outside of a vacuum, the in-oxygen stability of 39 654 materials was tested. The enthalpy of oxidation was found to be largely exothermic. Further analysis showed that 1438 of these materials fall into the range required for self-passivation based on the Pilling-Bedworth ratio.
