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

Subnanoscale (<2 nm) high-entropy alloys (SHEAs) have garnered increasing attention for their unique physicochemical properties that enable high catalytic performance. However, this potential is offset by reduced stability, a characteristic typically associated with high-entropy alloys, due to their high reactivity at this scale. Here we circumvent this obstacle by using the localized surface plasmon resonance effect along with laser fragmentation in liquids for synthesizing SHEAs. Localized-surface-plasmon-resonance-generated hot electrons from gold nanoparticles facilitate metal ion reduction, whereas the 7-ns laser pulse induces ultrafast heating and cooling cycles, fusing multiple metals into SHEAs with enhanced stability. This method enables the incorporation of up to ten elements into SHEAs. The selected AuPtRuRhIr SHEAs demonstrate high stability to work under 2 A cm
