Achieving electrochemical and mechanical stability in a lightweight titanium alloy.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Titanium alloys represent a promising material in marine applications, focusing on high-stakes environments where their corrosion resistance and high specific strength offer significant benefits. However, they can still be vulnerable to localized corrosion, such as pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, in the presence of aggressive chlorides. Here we report a lightweight titanium alloy that addresses these issues through conventional casting and thermal-mechanical processing. The alloy can generate a passive film showing distinct but stable electrochemical responses. It is found that the reaction of the passive film can shift from the slow accumulation in the passive region, to the rapid buildup of passive layers in extreme anodic potentials. Consequently, the alloy exhibits a pitting potential above 10 VSCE without being subjected to localized corrosion. Meanwhile, mechanical reliability is also achieved during stress corrosion tests, owing to the fast repair of the passive film that substantially constrains the crack propagation. Such virtual immunity to seawater corrosion qualifies this titanium alloy as a potential candidate for long-term cost savings and sustainability.
