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

As a promising member of the graphene-skinned Cu powder family, this material integrates the properties of graphene with the inherent advantages of Cu. However, controlled growth on curved surfaces remains challenging due to curvature-induced stress, catalytic heterogeneity of molten Cu, and limited carbon migration. Using DFT, AIMD, LS-DYNA, and experimental verification, we show that curvature introduces a size-dependent energy barrier (181.87 eV for 10 nm vs. 21.40 eV for 10 µm) and elastic instability, triggering six-branched domains when the branch length exceeds a critical value l
