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

The enduring manufacturing goals are increasingly shifting toward ultra-precision manufacturing and micro-nano fabrication, driven by the demand for sophisticated products. Unconventional machining processes such as electrochemical jet machining (ECJM), electrical discharge machining (EDM), electrochemical machining (ECM), abrasive water jet machining (AWJM), and laser beam machining (LBM) have been widely adopted as feasible alternatives to traditional methods, enabling the production of high-quality engineering components with specific characteristics. ECJM, a non-contact machining technology, employs electrodes on the nozzle and workpiece to establish an electrical circuit via the jet. As a prominent special machining technology, ECJM has demonstrated significant advantages, such as rapid, non-thermal, and stress-free machining capabilities, in past research. This review is dedicated to outline the research progress of ECJM, focusing on its fundamental concepts, material processing capabilities, technological advancements, and its variants (e.g., ultrasonic-, laser-, abrasive-, and magnetism-assisted ECJM) along with their applications. Special attention is given to the application of ECJM in the semiconductor and biomedical fields, where the demand for ultra-precision components is most pronounced. Furthermore, this review explores recent innovations in process optimization, significantly boosting machining efficiency and quality. This review not only provides a snapshot of the current status of ECJM technology, but also discusses the current challenges and possible future improvements of the technology.
