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

Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305)- and Sn-9Zn-based alloys (Sn-Zn-X, X = Al, In) are lead-free solders used in the fabrication of solder joints with Cu metallization. Electroplating is a facile technology used to fabricate Cu metallization. However, the addition of functional additive molecules in the plating solution may result in impurity residues in the Cu electroplated layer, causing damage to the solder joints. This study investigates the impurity effect on solder joints constructed by joining various solder alloys to the Cu electroplated layers. Functional additives are formulated to fabricate high-impurity and low-impurity Cu electroplated samples. The as-joined solder joint samples are thermally aged at 120 °C and 170 °C to explore the interfacial reactions between solder alloys and Cu. The results show that the impurity effect on the interfacial reactions between SAC305 and Cu is significant. Voids are massively formed at the SAC305/Cu interface incorporated with a high impurity content, and the Cu
