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

Intermetallic phases with atomic ordering are highly active and stable in catalysts. However, understanding the atomistic mechanisms of disorder-to-order phase transition, particularly in multi-component systems, remains challenging. Here, we investigate the atom diffusion and phase transition within Pd@Pt-Co cubic nanoparticles during annealing, using in-situ electron microscopy and ex-situ atomic resolution element analysis. We reveal that initial outward diffusing Pd partially substitutes Pt, forming a (Pt, Pd)-Co ternary system in the surface region, enabling the phase transition at a low temperature of 400 °C, followed by shape-preserved inward propagation of the ordered phase. At higher temperatures, excessive interdiffusion across the interface changes the stoichiometric ratio, diminishing the atomic ordering, leading to obvious change in morphology. Calculations indicate that the Pd-substitute in (Pt, Pd)-Co system leads to a significantly lower phase transition temperature compared to that of Pt-Co alloy and thus a lower activation energy for atomic diffusion. These insights into atomistic behavior are crucial for future design of multi-component systems.
