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

Understanding the characteristics of graphite-water interfaces is of scientific significance and practical importance. Ordered stripe structures have been observed at this interface, with their origins debated between condensed gas molecules and airborne hydrocarbons. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies have revealed variations in the morphology, formation and growth of these ordered structures. Here, we investigate the graphite-water interface under different environmental conditions using PeakForce Quantitative Nanomechanical (PF-QNM) AFM. Our findings reveal that stripe structures with 4 nm width and 0.5 nm periodicity, form and grow under wet laboratory conditions but not in pure inert gas or cleanroom environments. These stripes appear more readily when the graphite surface is immersed in water, with growth associated with gas nanodomains on the surface. This suggests that atmospheric contaminants migrate to the water-graphite interface, potentially facilitated by gas states. These findings underscore the impact of environmental conditions on graphitic materials, providing new insights into the mechanisms underlying stripe formation and growth.
