Substantial improvement of mechanical properties of Zn-Mg alloys to orthopedic implants via rotary swaging.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 limited strength of unalloyed zinc (Zn) hinders its use in bone repair, where materials must withstand substantial stress. Rotary swaging (RS) serves as a promising technique to enhance metal performance by modifying their internal microstructures. Herein, Zn-0.5Mg alloys undergo room-temperature RS, with their post-processing characteristics, including microstructural features, mechanical performance, degradation behaviors, and biological responses being systematically examined. Findings demonstrate remarkable microstructural optimization and breakdown of lamellar structure following RS. As strain rise, average grain sizes of cast Zn-0.5Mg alloy reduce progressively from 100 μm to 1.10 μm (RS-2), with complete refinement of second phases. This method remarkably boosts the alloy's ultimate tensile strengths from 163 MPa of cast to 465 MPa of RS-3, while the ductility improved from 2 to 27.8%., satisfying bone implant specifications. Such enhancement stems from multiple mechanisms including grain boundary strengthening, dislocation strengthening, and second phase strengthening. Enhanced processing passes correlate with reduced degradation rates, mainly attributed to diminished localized corrosion from galvanic corrosion between Zn and Mg
