Formation and compaction of sub-10 nm transfer films in metal-ceramic fretting.
Article in Beilstein journal of nanotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nanoscale transfer in metal-ceramic fretting originates at microcontacts but has remained experimentally unresolved. Here, we use an atomic force microscopy-based topographical difference method to visualize the formation of sub-10 nm transfer films at a sapphire-chromium interface subjected to fretting. Transfer proceeds via adhesive wear of chromium at micrometer-scale contacts, followed by plastic compaction of the chromium debris into a conformal ≈5 nm transfer film. Excess debris is expelled from the circular contact and accumulates in a curvature-defined peripheral ring around the contact. These results connect microcontact fracture, debris evolution, and nanoscale transfer-film formation in fretting contacts.
