The Fierce Morphological Battle of Silver Nanoparticles: How Irregularities, Vacancies and Defects Tip the Crossing Sizes.

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.
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
Solving the morphological complexity of nanomaterials such as silver nanoparticles, at the one-atom level, is a prerequisite to reach a rational design of their properties. To date, structural measurements in ultra-high vacuum of silver nanoparticles remain uninterpreted. The narrow competition between octahedra and decahedra evolves in morphological statistics in the range 309-923 atoms, whereas the most stable icosahedra appear as a minority. To solve this debate, an extensive ab initio investigation of silver nanoparticles is presented in the range 18-1654 atoms (500 nanoparticles). Originally, we interpret measurements, thanks to the inclusion of defects. A very narrow competition is highlighted between defective truncated octahedra and Marks-decahedra, both dominating defective icosahedra in number but not in stability, and the experimental assumption suggesting that the presence of all symmetries is due to kinetic trapping is supported. Highly accurate computational conditions are mandatory to predict crossing sizes between structures, within one-atom precision. This exigence results from the usual stability descriptor. Imagine solving the morphological debate of silver nanoparticles without an accuracy of
