The Effect of Sensitization on the Susceptibility of AISI 316L Biomaterial to Pitting Corrosion.

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
Due to the combination of high corrosion resistance and suitable mechanical properties, AISI 316L stainless steel is extensively used as the biomaterial for surgical implants. However, heat exposure in inappropriate temperatures can cause its sensitization accompanied by chromium depletion along the grain boundaries. This study deals with an assessment of the susceptibility of sensitized AISI 316L biomaterial to pitting under conditions simulating the internal environment of the human body (Hank's balanced salt solution, 37 ± 0.5 °C). The resistance to pitting corrosion is tested by the potentiodynamic polarization and by the 50-day exposure immersion test. Corrosion damage after the exposure immersion test is evaluated in the specimens' cross-sections by optical microscope and SEM. Despite passive behavior in potentiodynamic polarization and shallow, slight corrosion damage observed after exposure, the sensitized AISI 316L biomaterial could represent a risk, especially in long-term implantation even after the chemical removal of high-temperature oxides.
