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

Controlling the polymorphism of metal nanocrystals is a promising strategy for enhancing properties and discovering new phenomena. However, previous studies on Rh nanocrystals have focused on their thermodynamically stable face-centered-cubic (fcc) phase. Herein, a facile synthesis of Rh-based nanocrystals featuring the metastable hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase is reported by using Ru seeds in their native hcp phase to template the deposition of Rh atoms. The success of such phase-controlled synthesis relies on the templating effect promoted by the small lattice mismatch between Ru and Rh and the slow dropwise titration of the precursor at an elevated temperature, ensuring the layer-by-layer growth mode and thus the formation of a conformal hcp-Rh shell. Faster injection rate of Rh(III) precursor leads to the formation of a rough Rh shell in the conventional fcc phase due to accelerated reaction kinetics. Considering both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of this system, the hcp-Rh phase is favored when the low surface energy from smooth overlayers balances the high bulk energy of the metastable phase, achieved through tight control of reaction rates and deposition patterns.
