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

Nanoporous (NP) metals represent a unique class of materials with promising properties for a wide set of applications in advanced technology, from catalysis and sensing to lightweight structural materials. However, they typically suffer from low thermal stability, which results in a coarsening behavior not yet fully understood. In this work, we focused precisely on the coarsening process undergone by NP Au, starting from the analysis of data available in the literature and addressing specific issues with suitably designed experiments. We observe that annealing more easily induces densification in systems with short characteristic lengths. The NP Au structures obtained by dealloying of mechanically alloyed AuAg precursors exhibit lower thermal stability than several NP Au samples discussed in the literature. Similarly, NP Au samples prepared by annealing the precursor alloy before dealloying display enhanced resistance to coarsening. We suggest that the microstructure of the precursor alloy, and, in particular, the grain size of the metal phases, can significantly affect the thermal stability of the NP metal. Specifically, the smaller the grain size of the parent alloy, the lower the thermal stability.
