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

While the concept of high entropy has gained prominence in materials design, disentangling specific impacts of entropy on material properties from the enthalpy of mixing remains elusive. It is demonstrated that the role of entropy can be distinguished from the dynamics of glass-forming liquids through micro-alloying. Based on experiment analysis of 79 compositions, liquid fragility is found to consistently decreases under two conditions: i) when the alloying content x is minimal, irrespective of the elements used; or ii) when increasing the diversity of alloying elements at a constant x, namely the high-entropy micro-alloying. These observations are consistent with thermodynamic principles that favor an entropy-dominated regime over enthalpy. These findings elucidate the subtle impact of mixing entropy on material properties and provide evidence of the entropy nature of glass transition.
