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

[Formula: see text]Al is an important radionuclide for research on stellar nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy and the environment of the early solar system. Computational simulations involving the production and destruction of [Formula: see text]Al in stellar nucleosynthesis and supernovae rely on accurate nuclear reaction network data. Some of the destruction channels via neutron-induced reactions for [Formula: see text]Al either have no measured data or discrepancies in the measured data. The Low Energy (n,Z) instrument at the Los Alamos National Laboratory can perform these measurements on neutron-induced charged-particle reactions; however, a thin and uniform target is required. Such a target can be manufactured via molecular plating, but this process needs to be optimized. This study was able to determine a procedure that allows for the production of an Al target on a 1 [Formula: see text]m thick Ti foil with a >70% yield. Adding a small amount of Ce in the initial plating solution and increasing the drying time resulted in a thin, uniform, and physically stable Al target.
