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

A significant and increasing number of studies have been dedicated to complex concentrated alloys (CCAs) due to the improved properties that these metallic materials can exhibit. However, while most of these studies employ melting techniques, only a few explore powder metallurgy and pressureless sintering as production methods. In this work, a microstructural characterization of AlCrCuFeMnNi CCA samples obtained by powder metallurgy and pressureless sintering using mixtures of powders with different compositions was carried out. One batch of samples (B1) was prepared using commercial powders of Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni. Another batch (B2) used mixtures of CrFeMn, AlNi, and Cu powders. A third set of samples (B3) was obtained by adding 1% at. of Mg to the B2 powder. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, density measurements, and hardness tests. Thermodynamic calculations were also used to complement the microstructural characterization. All the obtained samples exhibited high relative density and hardness values. However, B3 samples showed a higher hardness, attributed to the finer distribution of oxide particles, which was promoted by the presence of Mg during sintering. These last samples presented a hardness/density ratio of 62 HV/(g cm
