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

In this study, a comprehensive process-structure-function roadmap was established for bio-inspired functional surfaces. We systematically controlled the pore diameter, interpore distance, pore depth, and pore aspect ratio of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) master templates via multistep anodization. These templates were then replicated in durable nickel-cobalt alloy working molds through electroforming, and their nanostructures were transferred to polycarbonate films using nanoimprint lithography. Our findings highlighted the critical influence of pre-anodization, electrolyte type (oxalic acid for an ~ 100 nm interpore distance; phosphoric acid for ~ 400 nm), anodization potential, and time on the AAO structures. We also identified 100 A/m
