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

Ti6Al4V specimens with porous structures can be fabricated by additive manufacturing to obtain the desired Young's modulus. Their mechanical strength and deformation behavior can be evaluated using finite element analysis (FEA), with various models and simulation methodologies described in the existing literature. Most studies focused on the evaluation accuracy of the mechanical strength and deformation behavior using complex models. This study presents a simple elastic model for brittle specimens followed by an electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) process to predict the initial crack site and threshold of applied stress related to the failure of cubic unit lattice structures. Six cubic lattice specimens with different porosities were fabricated by EBAM, and compression tests were performed and compared to the FEA results. In this study, two different types of deformation behavior were observed in the specimens with low and high porosities. The adopted elastic model and the threshold of applied stress calculated via FEA showed good capabilities for predicting the initial crack sites of these specimens. The methodology presented in this study should provide a simple yet accurate method to predict the fracture initiation of porous structure parts.
