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

Nanowires (NW) hold substantial promise for high-performance electronics; however, the lack of programmable, deterministic control and alignment strategies limits their seamless integration onto flexible target substrates, posing challenges to manufacturing reliability, efficiency, and scalability. Herein, we propose a scalable and adaptable interfacial dielectrophoresis (i-DEP) method for precise translational and rotational (0-150°) manipulation of NWs on thin polymer films. A subsequent noncontact picosecond laser post-treatment is introduced to effectively enhance electrical and optical properties by welding NW junctions through controlled thermal diffusion and localized-field confinement. The laser-welded silver nanowires (AgNW) network has attained ∼46× reduction in sheet resistance and a 10% enhancement in transmittance. The i-DEP aligned, laser-treated ultrathin AgNW/polyimide film achieves 35 dB electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, demonstrating over 1000× improvement compared to randomly oriented drop-cast AgNW networks. The additional shielding contribution arises from the capacitively coupled interwire network in the predefined aligned-NWs structure, realizing performance beyond that attainable by conductivity alone. This work presents a laser-engineered, i-DEP-aligned NW network that reinforces interfacial NW network quality and provides a systematic fabrication and optimization strategy for advancing wireless, flexible, and high-performance transparent electronic devices.
