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

Quasicrystals are long-range-ordered materials with rotational symmetry incompatible with periodicity. Takakura et al. [(2025). IUCrJ 12, 435-443] present a study of a single grain of icosahedrite, the first natural icosahedral quasicrystal, which was found in a meteorite in 2009. Through detailed analysis of the diffraction peaks, they conclude that natural AlCuFe is an icosahedral quasicrystal superimposed by a phasonic modulation along the fivefold directions, which is similar to that observed in the synthetic quasicrystal. Based on knowledge of the synthesis and phase stability of icosahedral AlCuFe, they discuss the formation of icosahedrite in the meteorite.
