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 tangential force required to observe slip across a whole frictional interface can increase over time under a constant load, due to any combination of creep, chemical, or structural changes of the interface. In macroscopic rate-and-state models, these frictional aging processes are lumped into an ad hoc state variable. Here we explain, for a frictional system exclusively undergoing structural aging, how the macroscopic friction response emerges from the interplay between the surface roughness and the molecular motion within adsorbed monolayers. The existence of contact junctions and their friction dynamics are studied through coupled experimental and computational approaches. The former provides detailed measurements of how the friction force decays, after the stiction peak, to a steady-state value over a few nanometers of sliding distance, while the latter demonstrates how this memory distance is related to the evolution of the number of cross-surface attractive physical links, within contact junctions, between the molecules adsorbed on the rough surfaces. We also show that roughness is a sufficient condition for the appearance of structural aging. Using a unified model for friction between rough adsorbed monolayers, we show how contact junctions are a key component in structural aging and how the infrajunction molecular motion can control the macroscopic response.
