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
This study investigates the effects of multiple laser shock peening (LSP) treatments on the low-cycle fatigue performance and fracture mechanisms of laser-melted, additive-manufactured Ti-6.5Al-1Mo-1V-2Zr (TA15) titanium alloy. The primary objective is to systematically evaluate how different LSP impact numbers (0, 1, and 2 impacts) enhance fatigue life and alter fracture behavior. Low-cycle fatigue life was determined via tensile-compression fatigue testing. Microfracture morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and microhardness tests were conducted concurrently. Results indicate that LSP significantly enhances fatigue life: fatigue life increased by 2.34 times and 2.56 times after one and two LSP impacts, respectively, compared to the untreated state. As impact cycles increased, the microhardness of the material surface rose by 8.51% and 14.53%, respectively, with residual compressive stresses reaching -145 MPa and -183 MPa. Concurrently, LSP-2 treatment formed a refined microstructure featuring coexisting lamellar α and acicular martensite in the surface layer. This strengthening effect is attributed to LSP-induced surface residual compressive stress, grain refinement, and the resulting migration of fatigue crack initiation from the surface to subsurface regions. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing fatigue-resistant designs of additively manufactured titanium alloy components.
