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

Atomic-resolution structure identification of nanocrystals by graphene liquid cell electron microscopy (GLC-EM) has revealed that small, solubilized platinum nanocrystals consist of an ordered crystalline core surrounded by mobile surface atoms, which dissociate during oxidative etching, resulting in distinct temporal structural states. Requirements imposed by the 3D reconstruction algorithm limit the number of structural states that can be resolved. We introduce a regularized 3D reconstruction algorithm that exploits the redundancy inherent in the experimental data, allowing us to improve the time resolution. Our developments provide a comprehensive molecular picture at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution of the nonlinear, linear, and fluctuating dynamic phenomena that single nanocrystals undergo during the GLC-EM experiment. We determined atomic structures of 66 temporal structural states, extracted from 15 time trajectories of individual nanocrystals. Large (478 to 698 atoms) and small (<300 atoms) nanocrystals show etching that preserves a stable core, whereas mid-sized (351 to 571 atoms) nanocrystals present dynamics that change the coordination of the core.
