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

The distinct solidification behavior of additively manufactured (AM) Inconel 718 (IN718) produces a unique microstructure and precipitation response compared with its conventionally forged counterpart, leading to fundamentally different responses to heat treatment and intermediate-temperature deformation behaviors. In this work, the intermediate-temperature (450-750 °C) deformation mechanisms of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)-fabricated and forged IN718 alloys were systematically compared under various heat-treatment conditions. Overall, under solution treatment state, the LPBF alloy exhibited fine columnar grains, a high dislocation density, and retained δ phases along the grain boundaries, whereas the forged alloy showed coarse equiaxed γ grains without the δ phase. Under solution + aging (STA) treatment, the δ phase in the LPBF alloy effectively pinned grain boundaries and enhanced flow stress, while in the forged alloy, strengthening was dominated by the uniform precipitation of γ″ and γ' phases. Owing to Nb consumption by δ-phase formation, the STA-treated LPBF alloy contained fewer γ″/γ' precipitates and exhibited slightly lower strength than the STA-treated forged alloy. This study demonstrates that the inherent δ phase retention and Nb segregation in LPBF-built IN718 critically influence its precipitation behavior and deformation resistance, distinguishing it from conventionally processed alloys and providing valuable insights for microstructure design in AM-built high-temperature superalloys.
