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 present study examined the microstructure and corrosion characteristics of MgCa4Zn1Gd1 and MgCa2Zn1Gd3 alloys that were coated with ZnO thin films, which were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Coatings of different thicknesses (42.5, 95.4 and 133.7 nm for 500, 1000, and 1500 cycles, respectively) were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS, AFM (atomic force microscope), and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). XRD and Raman analyses were conducted to verify the formation of crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) with a homogeneous granular morphology. Surface roughness decreased with increasing coating thickness, reaching the lowest values for the 1500-cycle ZnO layer on MgCa2Zn1Gd3 (R
