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

This study systematically investigates the thickness-dependent mechanical properties of electroplated copper foils with fine-grained (FG-Cu) and columnar nanotwinned (NT-Cu) microstructures. Tensile testing across a thickness range of 5-30 μm revealed that NT-Cu exhibits superior mechanical stability, with significantly lower reductions in both ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) compared to FG-Cu. The UTS of the 30 μm thick FG-Cu foil was measured at 651 MPa, increasing to 792 MPa at a thickness of 5 μm. In contrast, the UTS of NT-Cu foils only rose from 624 MPa at 30 μm to 663 MPa at 5 μm. A similar trend was observed for the YS. Microstructural analysis confirmed that NT-Cu maintains a stable columnar grain structure with minimal grain growth, contributing to its resistance to thickness-induced strength loss. These findings highlight NT-Cu as a promising candidate for applications requiring consistent mechanical performance across varying foil thicknesses.
