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

A non-standardized hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy, AlSi18Cu3CrMn, was developed. To refine the structure of the studied composition, a phosphorus modifier was used in an amount of 0.04 wt %, and a complex modifying treatment was applied by combining the chemical elements of phosphorus, titanium, boron and beryllium (P, 0.04 wt %; Ti, 0.2 wt %; B, 0.04 wt %; Be, 0.007 wt %). To improve the mechanical and operational properties of the alloy, it was heat-treated (T6) at a temperature of 510-515 °C before quenching, with artificial aging applied at a temperature of 210 °C for 16 h. Phosphorus-modified alloy AlSi18Cu3CrMn was quenched in water at 20 °C, and the combined modified alloy was quenched in water at temperatures of 20 °C and 50 °C. By conducting a microstructural analysis, the free Si crystals and silicon crystals in the composition of the eutectic in the alloy structure were characterized, and by conducting XRD, the presence and type of secondary phases were established. The hardness of the alloy was measured, as well as the microhardness of the α-solid solution. Static uniaxial tensile testing was carried out at normal and elevated temperatures (working temperatures of 200 °C, 250 °C and 300 °C). By using a gravimetric method, the corrosion rate of the alloy in 1 M NaCl and 1 M H
