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

Laves phases composed of two-dimensional (2D) Laves tilings are prevalent in condensed matter systems, yet the existence of these 2D tilings as isolated structural motifs has remained unverified. Here, we report the discovery of a metastable, confined 2D Laves tiling precipitate in a compositionally dilute Mg alloy, revealed through aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) in combination with atomic-resolution energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping. The structure adopts a Laves-type Al
