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

Cold metal transfer (CMT) welding and metal inert gas (MIG) arc welding of a novel Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Er-Zr alloy are systematically analyzed. The effect of the two welding processes on the morphology, microstructure, and mechanical properties of welded joints was investigated. The evolution of the microstructures and grain structures in the welded joints is studied using an optical microscope (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that both welding methods obtain well-formed full-penetration welds, and the width of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of CMT welding is smaller than that of MIG welding. The two welded joints reveal coarse cellular grain structures with precipitates of η (MgZn
