An Effect of Layered Auxiliary Cathode on Thickness Uniformity in Micro Electroforming Process.
Article in Micromachines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Thickness nonuniformity is a bottleneck in the micro electroforming process of micro-metal devices. In this paper, a new method of fabricating a layered auxiliary cathode is proposed to improve the thickness uniformity of a micro-electroforming layer. In order to analyze the general applicability of the proposed method, four basic microstructures, namely circular, square, regular triangular, and regular hexagonal were used to study the effect of a layered auxiliary cathode on thickness uniformity through simulation and experimentation. The simulation results showed that with the help of the proposed auxiliary cathode, the thickness nonuniformity of four microstructures should decrease due to the reduced edge effect of the current density. The experimental results showed that the thickness uniformity of four microstructures fabricated via the proposed method was improved by 190.63%, 116.74%, 80.43%, and 164.30% compared to that fabricated via the traditional method, respectively. Meanwhile, the micro-gear was fabricated and the nonuniformity was reduced by 101.15% using the proposed method.
