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

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the benchmark oxygen-ion conductor and is widely regarded as electronically inert under oxidizing conditions. Yet its electrical behavior at the nanoscale remains unsettled. While bulk YSZ exhibits predominantly ionic transport, electronic contributions have only been reported under highly defective, porous, or strong-field conditions. Here, we demonstrate that ultrathin epitaxial YSZ films (<20 nm) exhibit measurable p-type mixed conduction at room temperature arising intrinsically from crystallographically ordered defect-dopant associations. Combined electrical measurements and first-principles modeling show that Y
