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

Fe-Mn alloys represent promising candidates for temporary biomedical intravascular implants with a thin structure (e.g., coronary, cerebral and peripheral stents) due to their high mechanical strength, acceptable biocompatibility, and controllable corrosion rate. Traditionally, these devices are produced by casting followed by thermo-mechanical processing, i.e. a time- and energy-intensive top-to-bottom approach. This study explores electroforming as an alternative method to fabricate bottom-to-top thin Fe-Mn structures using ethylene glycol-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Glycine was introduced as a complexing agent to enhance Mn co-deposition. Electroforming was investigated in presence of three glycine concentrations (0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 M), and the the microstructure, composition, corrosion behavior, and cytocompatibility of the developed thin (50-85 µm) structures were characterized. Higher glycine content improved Mn incorporation, crystallinity, hardness and increased corrosion rate. These findings support the use of DES-based electroforming as a promising route for fabricating biodegradable Fe-Mn devices with tunable properties.
