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

Quasicrystals are ordered phases without periodicity. They are often found in aluminium and other alloys. They can appear in different sizes. Therefore, several metallographic and characterisation techniques are required to fully determine their shape, size, crystallography, and chemical composition. This review paper gives special attention to identifying quasicrystals in aluminium alloys using classical metallographic techniques, such as etching, deep etching, and particle extraction, which allow the investigation of larger areas by light and scanning electron microscope, giving additional information by combining with complementary high-resolution techniques.
