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

We have explored the potential of poly(dopamine) (PDA) thin films as versatile, high resolution conformal photoresists, using catalytic photoreduction of silver ions to micropattern the film. The combination of photosensitivity, biocompatibilty, and straightforward deposition under mild conditions into thin (∼45 nm) conformal coatings on nearly any material makes PDA films of interest in lithographic patterning on highly nonplanar geometries as well as on soft and biological materials where standard photoresists cannot be used. PDA and poly(norepinephrine) (PNE) films deposited with a standard autoxidation process were investigated along with PDA film deposited with a fast oxidation (FO) technique. Notably, we find that nonspecific deposition of silver off the lithographic pattern is strongly suppressed in PNE and nearly absent in FO-PDA films, which makes very high contrast lithography possible. We attribute this to a lower ratio of catechol to quinone moieties in these films compared to standard PDA films. PNE and FO-PDA films also exhibit smaller silver grain sizes (<40 nm) than standard PDA films, where grains are up to 200 nm in size. We demonstrate laser-scanning lithography patterns at 1.7 μm spatial resolution near the optical resolution limit of the experiment. Continuous silver films can readily be deposited on PDA, PNE, and FO-PDA with blue (
