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 investigate the behavior of CVD-grown monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as a protective barrier on top of CVD-grown monolayer graphene during the removal of poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) residues by thermal annealing in air. We use a combination of Raman spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and atomic force microscopy to measure the damage of graphene and the efficacy of air annealing as a cleaning method. Our experimental findings demonstrate the effectiveness of h-BN as a protective barrier against graphene damage at temperatures up to 500 °C compared with bare graphene.
