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

CRYSP has been developed as a crystallographic tool for the construction and visualization of crystal shapes. The input parameters for software are crystal structure files, Miller indices, and corresponding minimum surface energies. A graphical user-friendly interface is provided, along with automatic conversion from crystallographic space groups to point groups, simplifying the input of interfacial energies and their orientations. The algorithm of Wulff construction, as described in a research paper on the SOWOS software, has been modified to include a cleavage option, enabling the identification of very small facets, short edges, and nearly coincidence vertices. This enhancement allows the construction of crystal shapes both in natural habits and on planar substrates, the latter corresponding to the Winterbottom construction. Visualization in pseudo-color is provided, including facet indices and quantitative parameters such as edge length, facet area, and crystal volume. The software also supports morphologies associated with non-crystallographic point groups, e.g. icosahedral symmetry. CRYSP serves as a versatile tool for crystallography, nanostructures and any other field where crystal facets are involved.
