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

We developed and describe a differential scanning calorimetry method for calculating the initial crystallinity, change of crystallinity and crystallinity percentage of amorphous metal alloys as a function of temperature. Using thermodynamic enthalpies of amorphous, crystalline and partially devitrified specimens, our methodology is capable of determining crystallinity percentages as low as a few percent. Moreover, the linear relationship between the set (pre-determined) and calculated crystallinities of experimental samples indicates that there is no need to prepare calibration samples before measuring the crystallinity percentage of target samples. This technique also eliminates the need for expensive in situ accessories, such as those required in electron microscopy. Thus, the technique is highly relevant as a primary technique for characterization of devitrification behavior in amorphous materials.
