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

The construction of anisotropic structures from their anisotropic building blocks across multiple length scales usually leads to unique properties of materials, such as nanowires and nanofilaments. However, two-dimensional nanosheets with distinct anisotropic topology are scarcely employed to engineer diverse anisotropic materials with desirable properties. Here, we report anisotropy-tailored graphene nanosheets with periodic arrangement in three-dimensional space, produced by multi-flow microfluidics. Upon film densification, a classical Chinese mortise-and-tenon like van der Waals joint architecture forms from such anisotropic-tailored graphene nanosheets, enabling the resulting material to achieve a tensile strength of 2.11 gigapascals and an exceptional toughness of 87.44 megajoules per cubic meter. This philosophy of the multi-flow microfluidics controlling anisotropy-tailored graphene nanosheets and the mortise-and-tenon joint model should find use in the designing of structural materials.
