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

Pulsed laser melting in liquid (PLML) is a technique to fabricate submicrometer crystalline spherical particles of various materials by laser irradiation of suspended raw particles with random shapes. To fully exploit the unique features of PLML-fabricated particles (crystalline and spherical) in practice, a mass-production PLML technique is required. To this end, the present study develops a new slit nozzle that guides the suspension film flow into a non-droplet continuous stream with a low flow rate. These two incompatible flow properties (continuity and slowness) are difficult to be realized for a liquid jet to free space. The suspension film flow was irradiated with a typical laboratory scale-flash lamp pumping laser at 30 Hz pulse frequency. Only a single flow passage of the slit nozzle with a few laser pulse irradiation transformed 95% of the raw particles into spherical particles. This spheroidizing ratio exceeded those of low-rate drip flow and high-rate cylindrical laminar flow directly jetted into free space through a Pasteur pipette nozzle. Extrapolating the data obtained from a 20-ml suspension, the average production rate was determined as 195 mg h
