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

Two-dimensional intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and high-entropy metallic alloys (HEMAs) have recently attracted much attention for their emergent physical phenomena. However, the synthesis of two-dimensional single crystals of IMCs and HEMAs represents a considerable challenge due to their intrinsic thermodynamic instability and kinetic uncontrollability. Here we report an adsorption-conversion strategy to synthesize diverse Fe-, Co-, Ni-, Cu- and Pd-based ultrathin single crystals of IMCs and HEMAs, including the compositions that were previously inaccessible. During growth, metal atoms liberated from decomposed surface adsorbates incorporate into the metallic matrix, whereas residue surface Cl atoms kinetically drive the formation of two-dimensional structures by enhancing the energy difference among various facets. The resulting materials exhibit a conductivity of up to 3 × 10
