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

Transition-metal nitrides (TMNs), such as hafnium nitride (HfN), titanium nitride (TiN), and zirconium nitride (ZrN), have emerged as highly promising materials in photonics and plasmonics, drawing significant interest due to their optical properties comparable to those of conventional plasmonic materials like Ag and Ag, with remarkable thermal and chemical stability. While TMNs possess high bulk melting points and impressive resistance to degradation, the impact of scaling down to nanoscale dimensions and exposure to oxidizing environments under high temperatures on their optical properties remains largely underexplored. In this work, we establish a comprehensive experimental framework combining in situ optical characterization and ex situ surface analysis to explore the behavior of TMNs at 600 °C with exposure to oxygen. This oxidation process enables gradual color transitions in TMNs, thereby opening pathways for innovative applications in high-temperature structural color for printing. We further investigate aluminum oxide (Al
