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

This study explores zinc-functionalized chitosan (CS) for engineering bio-multifunctional interfaces via three atomic-scale techniques: vapor phase metalation (VPM), multiple pulsed vapor phase infiltration (MPI), and O2 plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with integrated energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental mapping confirmed homogeneous Zn distribution in all regimes, while AFM revealed a topographical transition from planarization in VPM (Rq = 5.6 nm) to high-surface-area nucleation in MPI (Rq = 123.9 nm). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated structural reconfiguration, with VPM reducing the hydrated phase crystallite size (7.4 to 4.6 nm) and MPI achieving the finest nanocrystallinity (1.83 nm). Notably, PEALD-modified interfaces exhibited the highest interfacial energy (0.102 J/m
