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

Three-dimensional multi-fold twin architectures are valuable for tailoring material properties but constructing them in man-made crystals remains challenging due to angular misfits from incomplete 360° space filling in large volumes, particularly lacking in-situ observations of crystal growth. Here, we successfully create three-dimensional architectures of plural multi-fold twins in a growing FeCoNiCuZn and the other multi-principal element alloy. The inherent chemical composition inhomogeneity entails twin fault energy variation across different {111} twinning planes, activating multiple twinning systems simultaneously. Importantly, we discover the commonly existed geometrically necessary amorphous zones in such three-dimensional multi-fold twin architectures. Combining in-situ transmission electron microscopy heating experiments and atomic electron tomography, we find that these geometrically necessary amorphous zones, typically several nanometers in size, fill the twin junctions and accommodate large geometric misfits, preventing crystallization even near the melting point.
