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

With 118 currently known elements, hence millions of possible quinary combinations, understanding and discovering potentially beneficial mixtures is challenging. Possible stable mixtures, however, are vital for alloy design or realization of new materials. Thermodynamically favorable interactions can also lead to enhanced materials properties. We apply graph theory to map relation in key thermodynamic parameters between elements, therefore revealing possible favorable (miscible) pairs and their congeners. Using closeness centrality and Lipschitz-Hölder exponent, we define miscibility across the whole period table, albeit at ambient conditions. Whereas most metals have fair solubility, hyper- and hypo- centrality (high and low solubility respectively) clusters are identified. We confirm our graph-based approach in understanding miscibility by comparing results to CALPHAD and Miedema's model. Unlike the heuristic models, the graph-based approach is amenable to machine learning enabling prediction at extreme environments by extrapolating known scaling laws.
