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

The β-relaxation is one of the crucial relaxation modes in glasses, which significantly influences their mechanical properties, structural heterogeneity, and glass transition. However, due to detection limitations, the β-relaxation has not been fully characterized and understood. In this work, in situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and absorption techniques are utilized to track the β-relaxation during heating and find that it can be reflected in the evolution of cluster structures within the first shells of metallic glasses. Through molecular dynamics simulations, it is further demonstrated that the β-relaxation is also well consistent with fast atomic motions linked with specific Voronoi polyhedra and chemical constitutions characterized by more excess free volume. The cyclic heating experiments provide evidence for the "irreversible" β-relaxation, which involves an event that is decayed during the sub-T
