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

In atomic layer deposition (ALD), precursor adsorption plays a critical role in determining growth characteristics. This is particularly important in area-selective ALD (AS-ALD), where adsorption on the non-growth surface (NGS) leads to selectivity loss. In this context, both the ability of a precursor to access reactive surface groups on the NGS and the strength of its binding are key parameters governing the selectivity in experiment. Adsorption on the NGS is strongly influenced by the precursor's substituents, which control Lewis acidity, steric demand, and propensity for dimerization. We applied energy decomposition analysis for extended systems (pEDA) to a set of commonly used aluminum precursors to quantitatively assess how these factors affect adsorption energetics on SiO
