Estimation of mechanical properties of Mg-5Zn-0.5Al-xSn alloy based on virtual crystal approximation.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
First-principles calculations of multi-component alloys have been studied in detail. Herein, the first-principles calculations of Mg-5Zn-0.5Al-xSn alloys were performed by using the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) method. By calculating the lattice constants and elastic constants of the Mg-5Zn-0.5Al-xSn doping models, it was found that the mechanical properties and micro-hardness were related with the content of Sn. With the increase of Sn content, and the best ductility and the smallest micro-hardness were achieved at Sn = 2 wt.%. To verify the calculation results, the Mg-5Zn-0.5Al-xSn alloys were prepared and micro-hardness and tensile tests were conducted. The experiments demonstrate that the trends in mechanical properties obtained from the experiments are in agreement with the VCA computational results. These findings indicate that the VCA method has guiding significance in industries for rapid screening of high-performance Mg alloys.
