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 rapid degradation rate of Magnesium (Mg) alloy limits its biomedical application even though it possesses outstanding biological performance and biomechanical compatibility. In this study, a combined method of laser rapid melting and alloying Zinc (Zn) was proposed to decrease the degradation rate of Mg-Sn alloy. The microstructure, degradation behaviors and mechanical properties of the laser-melted Mg-5Sn-xZn (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 wt.%) alloys were investigated. The results indicated that the grain size of the alloys decreased with increasing Zn content, due to the increased number of nucleation particles formed in the process of solidification. Moreover, the laser-melted Mg-Sn alloys possessed finer grains compared with traditional as-cast and as-rolled Mg-Sn alloys. The degradation rate of the alloys decreased with increasing Zn content (0-4 wt.%), which was ascribed to the grain refinement and the formation of Zn(OH)
