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

With the ongoing development of lightweight automobiles, research on new aluminum alloys and welding technology has gained significant attention. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique for welding aluminum alloys without melting. In this study, novel squeeze-cast Al-Si-Mg-Fe-Zn alloys with different Zn contents (0, 3.4, 6.5, and 8.3 wt%) were friction stir welded (FSWed) at a translational speed of 200 mm/min and a rotational speed of 800 rpm. These parameters were chosen based on the observations of visually sound welds, defect-free and fine-grained microstructures, homogeneous secondary phase distribution, and low roughness. Zn can affect the microstructure of Al-Si-Mg-Fe-Zn alloys, including the grain size and the content of secondary phases, leading to different mechanical and corrosion behavior. Adding different Zn contents with Mg forms the various amount of MgZn
