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

Optical glass-microprism arrays are generally embossed at high temperatures, so an online cooling process is needed to remove thermal stress, but this make the cycle long and its equipment expensive. Therefore, the hot-embossing of a glass-microprism array at a low strain rate with reasonable embossing parameters was studied, aiming at reducing thermal stress and realizing its rapid microforming without online cooling process. First, the flow-field, strain-rate, and deformation behavior of glass microforming were simulated. Then, the low-cost microforming control device was designed, and the silicon carbide (SiC) die-core microgroove array was microground by the grinding-wheel microtip. Lastly, the effect of the process parameters on forming rate was studied. Results showed that the appropriate embossing parameters led to a low strain rate; then, the trapezoidal glass-microprism array could be formed without an online cooling process. The standard deviation of the theoretical and experimental forming rates was only 7%, and forming rate increased with increasing embossing temperature, embossing force, and holding duration, but cracks and adhesion occurred at a high embossing temperature and embossing force. The highest experimental forming rate reached 66.56% with embossing temperature of 630 °C, embossing force of 0.335 N, and holding duration of 12 min.
