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

Subsurface regions critically govern surface events, such as the interactions with reactants in heterogeneous catalysis, thereby significantly modulating catalytic performance. However, precise control of subsurface atomic arrangement remains challenging due to complex metal-adsorbate interactions and limited structural accessibility. Here we achieve precise control of subsurface atomic layer in platinum-based intermetallic compounds through targeted positioning of heterometallic atoms to subsurface via in-situ constructed atomic diffusion pathways. This site-specific placement and subsequent thermodynamic-induced atomic rearrangement are governed by surface energy minimization and adsorbate-induced segregation. Through atomic-precision subsurface engineering, we successfully synthesize a series of L1
