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 study the cross-sectional shape of GaN nanowires (NWs) by transmission electron microscopy. The shape is examined at different heights of long NWs, as well as at the same height for NWs of different lengths. Two distinct trends in the evolution of the cross-sectional shape along the NW length are observed. At the top, merging NWs develop common {11̄00} side facets. At the bottom, the NWs acquire roundish shapes. This observation is explained by the entirely different NW environments at the top and the bottom of the NWs. At the top, NWs are exposed to the Ga and N atomic fluxes giving rise to axial growth, resulting in the equilibrium growth shape with zero growth rate at the {11̄00} facets. At the bottom, NWs are shadowed from the impinging fluxes and are only annealed, allowing them to eventually approach the equilibrium crystal shape. The study of identical samples by grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering independently confirms these trends in the shape evolution of the sidewall facets.
