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

Vanadium in basic-oxygen-furnace (BOF) slags is particularly interesting regarding the recovery of this element, which has been further strengthened by its inclusion in the list of critical raw materials by the European Union in 2017. As BOF slags can have a significant vanadium content, they continue to be a promising secondary vanadium source. Therefore, the binding mechanisms of vanadium in the respective slag minerals must be fundamentally understood to adapt a recovery process, which enables a sufficient yield and is environmentally friendly and resource-saving. This study presents a synchrotron chemical-imaging investigation based on a combined micro X-ray fluorescence, micro X-ray diffraction and micro X-ray absorption near-edge structure analysis, enabling new insights into vanadium incorporation in BOF slags. In contrast to the previously assumed incorporation of vanadium directly into the calcium silicates, it was shown that vanadium accumulates in their boundary regions as tetrahedral V
