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

Sterilizing high-carbon steel medical surgical blades is crucial for public health and safety. To enhance the sterilization efficiency of medical surgical blades, we used the Monte Carlo simulation method to study the effects of gamma irradiation sterilization parameters on high-carbon steel samples. Results show that the time required for irradiation sterilization can be decreased to 23.14 min or even 6.20 min, significantly shorter than the several hours required for chemical sterilization, by optimizing the irradiation facility parameters. The gamma source is a 1 cm thick
