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

Copper is one of the most extensively studied materials for energy conversion and catalytic systems, with a wide range of other applications, from nanophotonics to biotechnology. However, existing synthesis methods are limited with many undesirable byproducts and poorly defined morphologies. Here, we report an on-substrate wet synthesis approach that yields purely metallic and monocrystalline Cu microflakes with an exposed (111) crystalline surface. By systematically studying the growth mechanism, we achieve unprecedented sizes of more than 130 μm, which is 2 orders of magnitude larger than reported in most previous studies, along with high aspect ratios of over 400. Furthermore, we show significantly higher stability against oxidation provided by the halide adlayer, which also eliminates the need for any organic surfactants in the synthesis. Overall, our facile synthesis approach delivers an exciting avenue for the emerging fields of catalysis and nanophotonics.
