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

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have been of great interest due to their excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. However, there are few studies on their thermodynamic properties. Here, we investigate lattice thermal conductivity of MoWTaTiZr RHEAs using the equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) method. First, we consider the finite size effect. Then, the effect of temperature on the lattice thermal conductivity is explored. Remarkably, the lattice thermal conductivity and the reciprocal of the temperature are approximately linearly distributed. Finally, by tuning the elemental concentrations in RHEAs, the influence of each composition on the lattice thermal conductivity is studied. Interestingly, the lattice thermal conductivity decreases after increasing the Ti element. Chemical ordering in RHEAs indicates that Ti-Ti pairs tend to form bonds, and increasing Ti concentration is more likely to form Ti-rich clusters. This research is conducive to understanding the thermal behaviors in RHEAs and promoting the applications of RHEAs.
