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

In the present work, the microstructure, phase constitution, and corrosion behavior of binary Sn-xZn alloys (x = 5, 9 and 15 wt.%) were investigated. The alloys were prepared by induction melting of Sn and Zn lumps in argon. After melting, the alloys were solidified to form cast cylinders. The Sn-9Zn alloy had a eutectic microstructure. The Sn-5Zn and Sn-15Zn alloys were composed of dendritic (Sn) or (Zn) and eutectic. The corrosion behavior of the Sn-Zn alloys was studied in aqueous HCl (1 wt.%) and NaCl (3.5 wt.%) solutions at room temperature. Corrosion potentials and corrosion rates in HCl were significantly higher compared to NaCl. The corrosion of the binary Sn-Zn alloys was found to take place by a galvanic mechanism. The chemical composition of the corrosion products formed on the Sn-Zn alloys changed with the Zn weight fraction. Alloys with a higher concentration of Zn (Sn-9Zn, Sn-15Zn) formed corrosion products rich in Zn. The Zn-rich corrosion products were prone to spallation. The corrosion rate in the HCl solution decreased with decreasing weight fraction of Zn. The Sn-5Zn alloy had the lowest corrosion rate. The corrosion resistance in HCl could be considerably improved by reducing the proportion of zinc in Sn-Zn alloys.
