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

In this study, we focused on ammonia synthesis using Li-Sn alloys and investigated the reaction mechanism by microstructural analysis using bulk Li-Sn alloys. The nitrogenation reaction results in the formation of lithium nitride at the surface. The EDS results show that nitrogen atoms are present in the surface phase and that the concentration of Sn atoms decreases toward the surface. These results indicate that nitrogen atoms do not penetrate the bulk Li-Sn alloys. In other words, the surface phase of lithium nitride grows by outward diffusion of lithium atoms from the matrix rather than by internal penetration of nitrogen atoms. Furthermore, the activation energy of the reaction was calculated from Arrhenius plots of the growth rate of the surface phase of lithium nitride. Consequently, it was found that the nitrogenation reaction proceeds by diffusion of Li atoms in the matrix and surface phase and that Li diffusion in the surface phase is the rate-limiting step in the reaction.
