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

To extend the applicability of synchrotron diffraction contrast tomography (DCT) towards more plastically deformed materials, we have developed a forward-model-based reconstruction method. This allows us to reconstruct grain shapes and local orientations in materials exhibiting levels of intragranular orientation spread that can no longer be handled with the conventional Friedel-pair-based indexing and tomographic reconstruction approach. This method consists of seed and regional indexing, in which an exhaustive searching and fitting of orientations is first performed to index the seed orientation, and then a regional indexing by testing a list of local orientations around the seed orientation is carried out to maximize the completeness. The capability of this novel method was benchmarked and compared with reconstructions based on the conventional Friedel-pair-matching and tomographic reconstruction method using samples made from fully recrystallized Al-Cu alloy, moderately deformed α-Ti alloy and 10% creep-ruptured Fe-Au alloy. The results show that this method has the potential to overcome the deformation constraint and can reconstruct reasonably well the intragranular orientations. It is also suitable for multi-phase reconstruction and both box-beam and line-beam acquisition geometries. The implementation has been made flexible to support the use of single or multiple GPU machines. The strengths and weaknesses of the current forward-model-based reconstruction are discussed in detail with respect to the conventional Friedel-pair-matching method. To fully exploit and complement the strengths of the two methods, the code to implement the current forward-model-based reconstruction has been fully integrated with the existing DCT code and is open source for beamline data processing.
