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

Addressing the limitations of traditional fatigue life prediction methods, which rely on extensive experimental data and incur high costs, and given the current absence of studies that employ deformation inhomogeneity parameters to construct fatigue-indicator parameter (FIP) for predicting low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life of metals in hydrogen environments, this study firstly explores how hydrogen pre-charging influences the LCF behavior of hot-rolled ribbed bar grade 400 (HRB400) steel via experimental and crystal plasticity simulation, and focus on the relationship between the fatigue life and the evolution of microscale deformation inhomogeneity. The experimental results indicate that hydrogen charging causes alterations in cyclic hysteresis, an expansion of the elastic range of the stabilized hysteresis loop, and a significant reduction in LCF life. Secondly, a novel FIP was developed within the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) framework to predict the LCF life of HRB400 steel under hydrogen influence. This FIP incorporates three internal variables: hydrogen embrittlement index, axial strain variation coefficient, and macroscopic stress ratio. These variables collectively account for the hydrogen charging effects and stress peak impacts on the microscale deformation inhomogeneity. The LCF life of hydrogen-charged HRB400 steel can be predicted using this new FIP. We performed fatigue testing under only one loading condition to measure the corresponding fatigue life and determine the FIP critical value. This helped predict fatigue life under different cyclic loading conditions for the same hydrogen-charged material. We compared the experimental data to validate the novel FIP to accurately predict the LCF life of hydrogen-charged HRB400 steel. The error between the predicted results and the measured results is limited to a factor of two.
