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 spatial distribution of equiaxed crystal zones during extra-thick slab solidification exerts a critical influence on the mechanical performance of the final product. This investigation establishes a dual-pathway control framework for solidification structure modulation, differentiating between intrinsic regulation through columnar-to-equiaxed transition (CET) positioning and extrinsic intervention via strand electromagnetic stirring (S-EMS) parameter adjustment. The aim is to improve the internal quality of extra-thick slabs, enabling further investigations into the material properties. To achieve this, a solidification heat transfer model along with a cellular automata-finite element model were developed to characterize the thermal conditions at CET initiation, with experimental validation conducted on a 475 mm extra-thick slab. The systematic analysis identified a significant correlation between continuous casting parameters, alloy concentrations, and CET positioning, while S-EMS experiments further elucidated the distribution patterns of the solidification structure and the formation mechanism of the white band in the mushy zone. This methodology bridges computational metallurgy with process engineering, offering systematic guidance for solidification structure control in extra-thick slabs.
