Separating Geometric and Diffusive Contributions to the Surface Nucleation of Dislocations in Nanoparticles.
Article in ACS nano, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
While metal nanoparticles are widely used, their small size makes them mechanically unstable. Extensive prior research has demonstrated that nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 10-50 nm fail by the surface nucleation of dislocations, which is a thermally activated process. Two different contributions have been suggested to cause the weakening of smaller particles: first, geometric effects such as increased surface curvature reduce the barrier for dislocation nucleation; second, surface diffusion happens faster on smaller particles, thus accelerating the formation of surface kinks which nucleate dislocations. These two factors are difficult to disentangle. Here we use
