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

Despite the difficulty of experimentally studying polyamorphic transitions in high-Tg glasses, it is well known that silica glass has two high-density phases: the cold-compressed and hot-compressed high-density amorphous phases (c-HDA and h-HDA). By means of vibrational spectroscopy techniques under pressure, we first evidence that the yield strength under hydrostatic pressure is identical for glasses of similar density, whatever the thermo-mechanical history, showing that the elastic limit of a silica glass depends solely of its density. Our results also reveal the changes in the energy landscape of amorphous silica under high pressure. Above a certain threshold pressure, the energy barriers between the different amorphous phases vanish and the glass is automatically driven toward the c-HDA phase, whatever the initial structure and the temperature of compression. Very high pressures can therefore erase all traces of a glass's thermodynamic history.
