Optimization of Ultrasonic Welding Process Parameters to Enhance Weld Strength of 3C Power Cases Using a Design of Experiments Approach.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ultrasonic welding (UW) is a joining of plastics through the use of heat generated from high-frequency mechanical motion, which is known as an efficient process in many applications, such as textile, packaging, or automotive. UW of thermoplastics has been widely employed in industry since no polymer degradations are found after UW. However, the trial-and-error approach is frequently used to study optimum UW process parameters for new 3C plastic power cases in current industry, resulting in random efforts, wasted time, or energy consumption. In this study, Taguchi methods are used to study optimum UW process parameters for obtaining high weld strength of a plastic power case. The most important control factor influencing the weld strength is amplitude, followed by weld pressure, hold time, and trigger position. The optimum UW process parameters are amplitude of 43.4 µm, weld pressure of 115 kPa, hold time of 0.4 s, and trigger position of 69.95 mm. Finally, the confirmation experiments are performed to verify the optimum process parameters obtained in this study.
