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

Understanding surface forces of two-dimensional (2D) materials is of fundamental importance as they govern molecular dynamics in nanoscale proximity. Despite recent understanding of substrate-supported 2D monolayers, the intrinsic surface properties of 2D materials remain vague. Here we report on a repulsive Lifshitz-van der Waals force generated in proximity to the surface of suspended graphene. In combination with our theoretical model taking into account the flexibility of graphene, we directly measured repulsive forces using atomic force microscopy. An average repulsive force of up to 1.4 kN/m
