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

Until now, all carbons (solids, liquids, and gases) prefer to graphitize at moving mechanical interfaces. The reverse evolution toward diamond is generally not possible at the interfaces due to high activation and kinetic barriers (Diamond can be grown only at pressures of 5-6 GPa and temperatures of 900°C-1400°C). Here, we report diamond formation at superlubric sliding interfaces (coefficient of friction 0.008), breaking this pattern. This is accomplished by the van der Waals encapsulation of carbonaceous wear debris, when sliding Al
