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

Hardness is one of the most important mechanical properties of materials, since it is used to estimate their quality and to determine their suitability for a particular application. One method of determining quality is the Vickers hardness test, in which the resistance to plastic deformation at the surface of the material is measured after applying force with an indenter. The hardness is measured from the sample image, which is a tedious, time-consuming, and prone to human error procedure. Therefore, in this work, a new automatic method based on image processing techniques is proposed, allowing for obtaining results quickly and more accurately even with high irregularities in the indentation mark. For the development and validation of the method, a set of microscopy images of samples indented with applied forces of 5N and 10N on AISI D2 steel with and without quenching, tempering heat treatment and samples coated with titanium niobium nitride (TiNbN) was used. The proposed method was implemented as a plugin of the ImageJ program, allowing for obtaining reproducible Vickers hardness results in an average time of 2.05 seconds with an accuracy of 98.3% and a maximum error of 4.5% with respect to the values obtained manually, used as a golden standard.
