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

With hydrogen being a promising candidate for many future and current energy applications, there is a need for material-testing solutions, which can represent hydrogen charging under superimposed mechanical loading. Usage of high purity gaseous hydrogen under high pressure in commercial solutions entails huge costs and also potential safety concerns. Therefore, a setup was developed utilizing a customized electrochemical charging cell built into a dynamic testing system. With this setup, two heat treatment states of AISI 4140 (DIN 1.7225, 42CrMo4) with varying yield and ultimate tensile strength were characterized in constant amplitude tests. S-N (Woehler) curves differ between heat-treated states, and when comparing testing in air with in situ cathodic hydrogen-charged specimens, hydrogen proves to be detrimental to the material properties. For both states considered, the presence of hydrogen leads to a reduction in fatigue life. Fractographic analyses by scanning electron microscopy reveals that for in situ cathodic hydrogen-charged specimens, the crack initiation mechanisms change for the higher strength heat treatment state.
