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

The corrosion degradation of ultra-thin copper foils remains a critical challenge for maintaining their long-term structural stability under aggressive electrochemical environments. In this work, small-size graphene (sGr) was incorporated into ultra-thin copper foils through a direct-current electrodeposition strategy to improve corrosion resistance. Compared with conventional graphene, the reduced graphene size facilitated a more uniform dispersion within the copper matrix and effectively regulated the surface morphology and crystallographic texture of the deposited copper foils. The resulting sGr/Cu composite foil exhibited reduced surface defects, enhanced (220) preferred orientation with a texture coefficient of 83.7%, and improved electrochemical corrosion resistance in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. Specifically, the sGr/Cu foil showed a more positive corrosion potential (-0.099 V), a lower corrosion current density (3.781 × 10
