Dislocation-driven growth of single-crystal metal foils with high-index facets.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Single-crystal metal foil with high-index facets is an emerging metastable platform for 2D epitaxy, catalysis and electronics. However, its controlled growth has been plagued by the lack of a selective mechanism for driving diverse high-index facets. Here, we report a versatile strategy for the deterministic growth of single-crystal metal foils with diverse high-index facets. By incorporating dislocation energy differences to lift the free energy of strong (100) texture, we selectively activated the abnormal growth of high-index facets with an enhanced driving force, thus enabling the deterministic growth of single-crystal Cu, Ni and Au foils with dozens of high-index facets. Such energized growth leads to a counterintuitive discovery that increasing the driving force reduces the retarding force of ubiquitous thermal groove, which allows one order of magnitude improvement in the growth rate by greatly improving the net driving force. This work provides both thermodynamic and kinetic insights into precise metastability engineering strategies and points to a pathway to expand the library of high-quality single-crystal metal foils with high-index facets for various applications.
