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
Millisecond lasers, with their high processing efficiency and large power, are widely used in manufacturing fields such as aerospace. This study aims to investigate the effects of different processing parameters on the micro-hole processing of 316 heat-resistant steel using millisecond lasers. Through the control variable method, the study examines the impact of pulse energy, pulse count, and pulse width on the quality of micro-holes, including the entrance diameter, exit diameter, and taper. Furthermore, combined with orthogonal experiments and COMSOL Multiphysics 6.2 simulations, the study explores the influence of pulse width on the formation of blind holes. The experimental results show that when the pulse energy is 2.2 J, the taper is minimal (2.2°), while the taper reaches its peak (2.4°) at 2.4 J pulse energy. As the pulse count increases to 55-60 pulses, the exit diameter stabilizes, and the taper decreases to 1.8°. Blind holes begin to form when the pulse width exceeds 1.2 ms. When the pulse width is 1.2 ms, pulse energy is 2.4 J, and pulse count is 50, the entrance diameter of the blind hole reaches its maximum, indicating that longer pulse widths result in more significant energy reflection and thermal accumulation effects. COMSOL simulations reveal that high-energy pulses cause intense melt ejection, while longer pulse widths exacerbate thermal accumulation at the micro-hole entrance, leading to blind hole formation. This study provides important process references for laser processing of through-holes and blind holes in heat-resistant steel.
