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

Graphene/copper (Gr/Cu) composites, which combine the exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of both components, have emerged as a promising platform for advanced electronic and energy storage applications. Successful studies have been done on optimizing graphene incorporation and morphology, while the impact of Gr/Cu interfacial interactions on composite performance remains underexplored. Here, we systematically investigate eight Gr/Cu interfaces and clarify their interfacial coupling relationships. Our results demonstrate that the doping level of graphene closely correlates with the crystallographic orientation of Cu, where Gr/Cu(111) exhibits the highest electron doping level, and Gr/Cu(332) shows the lowest. Higher doping is accompanied by greater graphene surface friction, revealing a direct link between charge transfer at the interface and tribological behavior. Crystallographic orientation control represents an atomically precise interfacial engineering strategy for tailoring interfacial coupling. Through this approach, charge transfer and friction can be effectively tuned, paving the way for the rational design of high-performance Gr/Cu composites for applications such as efficient power transmission, reliable electrical interconnects, and low-friction systems.
