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

High magnetic permeability and low power loss are critical requirements for amorphous soft magnetic composites in high-frequency electronics. They are also typically mutually exclusive; low power loss requires insulating interfaces between magnetic particles, but conventional insulating interfaces cause magnetic dilution and decoupling, reducing permeability. Here, we introduce an interfacial spin-order engineering strategy that departs from traditional ferromagnetic interface solutions. By exploiting a thermally-electrically activated oxygen migration process, we construct a gradient oxygen-deficient functional layer between heterogeneous interfaces, enabling atomic-scale control of interfacial spin configurations. This engineered interface leads to a 150% increase in magnetic permeability and a 76% reduction in power loss, outperforming state-of-the-art counterparts. Neutron dark-field imaging provides direct, bulk-sensitive evidence that oxygen-defect-mediated spin ordering induces enlarged magnetic domains with intergranular magnetic connectivity. Mechanistically, defect-mediated super-exchange interactions reverse the spin orientation of Ce and Fe atoms at the heterointerface, transforming disordered or antiferromagnetic alignment into ferromagnetic coupling and thereby eliminating magnetic coupling barriers across particles. Our work demonstrates interfacial spin-ordering as a generalizable design principle, mitigating the long-standing permeability-loss trade-off.
