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

Icosahedral boron materials, which include regular icosahedra of 12 boron atoms have gained increasing attention due to their potential applications as superhard materials, semiconductors, and energy storage media. However, the synthesis of high quality crystals of these materials has been a major barrier to the development of these applications. To enable computational prediction of synthesis conditions yielding high-quality icosahedral boron crystals, herein we tested and refined a set of ReaxFF parameters for the nucleation and growth of such crystals. We focused on matching the relative energies of small boron clusters obtained by density functional theory since such small clusters and similar motifs are likely present in crystal nuclei and at the interface of growing crystals. Using a training set of B
