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

Small variations in interatomic distances have a substantial impact on the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials. Investigating these effects offers a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing the behavior of nanomaterials and nanostructures, providing foundations for the design and optimization of novel functional materials. However, the impact of strain in single-atom structures on piezoresistance and electronic transport properties remains unclear. This study focuses on a 1D, dynamic functional nanostructure that uses interatomic distance variations for lattice-level strain sensing. This silver (Ag) atom chain shows a high stability at room-temperature and an exceptional piezoresistance coefficient, enabling the detection of structural changes at atomic radius scale with high sampling frequencies. It is considered that this strong piezoresistivity is due to the impact of interatomic distance on electron scattering and transport mechanisms. The density functional theory simulations of electron transport reveal that variations in interatomic distance significantly influence the relaxation time of electron scattering and the effective electron mass, thereby modulating the characteristics of electron transport. This 1D dynamic nanostructure has the potential to address the low time resolution limitations of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), enhancing its capabilities for in situ characterization and multi-physical-field sensing. This study provides experimental evidence for insights into atomic scale piezoresistivity and underlying mechanisms.
