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

Microstructural evolution is a key aspect of understanding and exploiting the processing-structure-property relationship of materials. Modeling microstructure evolution usually relies on coarse-grained simulations with evolution principles described by partial differential equations (PDEs). Here we demonstrate that convolutional recurrent neural networks can learn the underlying physical rules and replace PDE-based simulations in the prediction of microstructure phenomena. Neural nets are trained by self-supervised learning with image sequences from simulations of several common processes, including plane-wave propagation, grain growth, spinodal decomposition, and dendritic crystal growth. The trained networks can accurately predict both short-term local dynamics and long-term statistical properties of microstructures assessed herein and are capable of extrapolating beyond the training datasets in spatiotemporal domains and configurational and parametric spaces. Such a data-driven approach offers significant advantages over PDE-based simulations in time-stepping efficiency and offers a useful alternative, especially when the material parameters or governing PDEs are not well determined.
