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

A novel satellite-like magnetic field-regulated (SLM) configuration is developed to enhance the depth-profiling and antibacterial analysis of Ag-doped TiN coating on Al substrate (Ag:TiN/Al) using glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS). COMSOL simulations reveal that the SLM configuration produces a unique magnetic field distribution through an antiparallel pole arrangement with six-fold symmetry. This creates a distinctive central circular magnetic field, which effectively controls electron motion, enhances central sputtering, and minimizes the edge effect, thereby improving depth-profiling performance. Applied into GDMS analysis of Ag:TiN/Al, SLM configuration achieves an exceptional depth resolution of 0.39 μm and a sputtering rate of 0.23 μm/min, outperforming the non-magnetic condition. It produces a flatter crater profile and increases GDMS signal intensities for
