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

This study investigated the influence of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) preparation time on the degradation resistance of Mg-1Zn (Z1) and Mg-1Zn-0.4Ca (ZX10) alloys, with comparisons to pure Mg and commercial Mg-4Y-3RE-0.4Zr (WE43). PEO layers were formed with varying preparation times (5, 10, and 15 min) and analyzed for microstructure, morphology, and corrosion resistance. The results indicated that PEO layers with a 10 min preparation time had the most homogeneous structure and optimal corrosion resistance. Prolonged PEO preparation times increased pore density, crack formation, and layer thickness while also promoting layer degradation during extended immersion in 0.9% NaCl corrosive media. The dissolution of phosphates from PEO layers contributes to the formation of a protective corrosion layer, enhancing long-term resistance. These findings demonstrate that low-alloyed, biocompatible Mg-Zn(-Ca) alloys can achieve corrosion resistance comparable to high-performance WE43 alloys through appropriate surface treatment.
