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

Polymer brushes are widely used to control the surface chemistry of substrates and selectively block or allow metal deposition on samples. Polymer brushes have advantages such as the possibility of conformal coatings and chemical binding to surfaces, thus improving stability. Despite progress in the application of polymer brushes such as poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) for area-selective deposition (ASD), brush removal and activation have not been widely investigated. Herein, we present a method to fabricate a stacked brush APTS-PS or APTS-PMMA composite and investigate brush removal with UV ozone (UVO) treatment and oxygen plasma ashing. We believe this work will lead to improved processing of brushes and allow for the advancement of the ASD field.
