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 effect of B addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AM50 was investigated, and the mechanism of grain refinement was clarified. Optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis were used to characterize the microstructure evolution. The grain size of as-cast AM50 decreased from 550 μm to 100 μm with the B content increasing from 0 to 0.15 wt.%. AlB₂ particles in the Al-3B master alloy transformed to Mg-B, and acted as the grain refiner. The addition of B to as cast AM50 alloy results in improved mechanical properties of AM50 + xB alloys. For instance, the YTS (yield tensile strength), UTS (ultimate tensile strength), and elongation of as cast AM50 + 0.15 wt.% B alloy was 94 MPa, 215 MPa, and 12.3%.
