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

AZ91 magnesium alloy is extensively utilized in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries because it is lightweight and has high specific strength and stiffness. However, its limited mechanical properties hinder its broad application. To enhance the comprehensive mechanical properties of AZ91 magnesium alloy, this study prepared AZ91 magnesium alloy by adding the rare-earth element lanthanum (La). Phase composition was examined through X-ray diffraction, and the microstructure was observed using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Mapping and energy spectrum analysis were performed to investigate the composition of the second phase. Differential scanning calorimetry was utilized to analyze the phase transition temperature, and the mechanical properties were tested. The solidification process was further assessed using Thermo-Calc simulation software. Results revealed that after the addition of La, a needle-shaped Al
