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

The existing Al-Ce heat-resistant alloys are not extensively utilized in high-temperature applications due to their poor room-temperature mechanical properties. In this study, the Al-10Ce-3Mg-5Zn alloy was enhanced using hot extrusion and heat treatment. The as-extruded alloy exhibited bimodal intermetallic compounds and grain structures. Additionally, high-density microcracks and twins were observed in the micron-sized intermetallic compounds. Compared with the as-cast state, the as-extruded alloy demonstrated a higher ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 317 MPa and better elongation of 11.0%. Numerous nano-sized T phases precipitated in the α-Al matrix after the heat treatment, contributing to a further rise in UTS (365 MPa). The high strength of the alloy is primarily due to its strong strain hardening capacity, fine grain strengthening, and precipitation strengthening effect. The change in elongation mainly results from the expansion of pre-existing microcracks, twin deformation, and microstructural refinement. The heat-treated alloys exhibited superior strength retention ratios at elevated temperatures (64% at 200 °C) compared to conventional heat-resistant aluminum alloys. The results of this paper indicate that hot extrusion and heat treatment are effective for developing heat-resistant Al-Ce alloys with high room-temperature strength, offering a simple process suitable for industrial production.
