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

WMoTaNbV refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) have received widespread attention due to their excellent low-temperature toughness, hardness, and wear resistance. In recent years, the rapid development of surface modification technology represented by laser cladding has provided a new technological path for RHEA surface forming, and at the same time put forward higher requirements for raw material powder. In this study, WMoTaNbV RHEA spherical powder was prepared by radiofrequency plasma spheronization, and then WMoTaNbV RHEA coating was prepared on the surface of Ti6Al4V (TC4) alloy by laser cladding technique. The experimental results show that the prepared alloy powders have very high sphericity and are almost free of agglomeration and oxidation. Coatings with laser powers of 3.1-3.9 kW (gradient setting of 2 kW) were tested, with the 3.3, 3.5, and 3.7 kW coatings showing the best of the abrasion resistance. The microhardness of the 3.3 kW, 3.5 kW, and 3.7 kW coatings was 1.72, 1.97, and 1.76 times higher than that of the substrate, and the wear resistance was 1.83, 3.42, and 2.13 times higher than that of the TC4 substrate, respectively. This experimental result shows that the surface hardness and wear resistance of WNbMoTaV RHEA coating can be effectively improved by precisely regulating the laser power, thus improving the surface hardness and friction and wear properties of TC4 titanium alloy.
