RETRACTED: Analysis of Friction Stir Welding Tool Offset on the Bonding and Properties of Al-Mg-Si Alloy T-Joints.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Research on T-configuration aluminum constructions effectively decreases fuel consumption, increases strength, and develops aerial structures. In this research, the effects of friction stir welding (FSW) tool offset (TO) on Al-Mg-Si alloy mixing and bonding in T-configurations is studied. The process is simulated by the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technique to better understand the material mixing flow and the bonding between the skin and flange during FSW. According to the results, the best material flow can be only achieved at an appropriate TO. The appropriate TO generates enough material to fill the joint line and results in formation of the highest participation of the flange in the stir zone (SZ) area. The results show that, in the T-configuration, FSW joints provide raw materials from the retreating side (RS) of the flange that play a primary role in producing a sound mixing flow. The selected parameters were related to the geometric limitations of the raw sheets considered in this study. The failure point of all tensile samples was located on the flange. Surface tunneling is the primary defect in these joints, which is produced at high TOs. Among the analyzed cases, the most robust joint was made at +0.2 mm TO on the advancing side (AS), resulting in more than 60% strength of the base aluminum alloy being retained.
