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

Airborne hydrocarbon contamination occurs rapidly on graphitic surfaces and negatively impact many of their material properties, yet much of the molecular details of the contamination remains unknown. We use Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) to study the time evolution of the surface potential of graphite exposed to ambient. After exfoliation in air, the surface potential of graphite is not homogeneous and contains features that are absent in the topography image. In addition, the heterogeneity of the surface potential images increased in the first few days followed by a decrease at longer exposure times. These observations are strong support of slow conformation change, phase separation, and/or dynamic displacement of the adsorbed airborne contaminants.
