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

Femtosecond (fs) laser has emerged as an effective technique for nanojoining. However, the role of nanowire diameter and the associated electric field distribution under fs laser irradiation in nanojoint formation and polycrystalline evolution remains unclear. In this study, AgNW nanojoints were fabricated via fs laser irradiation, and the electric field intensity distribution was simulated using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Nanojoint formation was examined across nanowires of different diameters under consistent laser processing conditions. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that smaller-diameter nanowires (e.g., 60 nm) facilitate nanojoint formation with a relative joint cross-sectional area reaching 544%, significantly exceeding those of 200 nm (73%) and 300 nm (19%) nanowires. Moreover, regions with higher electric field intensity exhibited refined polycrystalline grains, with an average size of 4.42 nm at the nanojoint interface-substantially smaller than that at non-bonded regions (15.69 nm and 26.27 nm). These findings provide new physical insights into the role of localized electromagnetic enhancement in joint morphology and grain structure regulation during fs laser nanojoining.
