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.
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 growing demand for environmentally sustainable technologies has intensified research into high-frequency motors and transformers, where Fe-Si soft magnetic alloys play a crucial role due to their exceptional magnetic properties. However traditional manufacturing methods limit geometric freedom and degrade alloy performance capabilities, hindering the development of advanced applications. To overcome these issues, laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) offers a promising route by enabling complex shapes, yet mitigating eddy current losses remains challenging at elevated frequencies. As a preliminary study, this work investigates the effect of adjusting laser beam profiles (Gaussian versus ring) on the eddy current losses and magnetic properties of Fe-Si alloys produced by L-PBF. A microstructural analysis demonstrates that the ring beam produces a broader, shallower melt pool, fostering coarser grains and a pronounced < 100 > crystallographic texture along the build direction. These microstructural features significantly reduce the coercivity and core loss of the material, strongly highlighting their effectiveness in addressing the aforementioned challenges related to the eddy current. Additionally, the ring beam increased the build rate by approximately 108%, clearly illustrating enhanced productivity without compromising quality. This study confirms that modifying the laser beam profile effectively controls eddy current losses, enhancing the magnetic performance of Fe-Si soft magnetic alloys fabricated via additive manufacturing.
