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
Grey cast iron brake discs are widely used in automotive applications due to their excellent thermal and mechanical properties. However, stricter environmental regulations such as Euro 7 demand improved surface durability to reduce particulate emissions and corrosion-related failures. This study evaluates multilayer coatings fabricated by Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) as a potential solution. Two multi-layer systems were investigated: 316L + (316L + WC) and 316L + (430L + TiC), which were primarily reinforced with ceramic additives to increase wear resistance, with their influence on corrosion being critically evaluated. Electrochemical tests in 5 wt.% NaCl solution (DIN 17475) revealed that the 316L + (316L + WC) coating exhibited the lowest corrosion current density and most stable passive behavior, consistent with the inherent passivation of the austenitic 316L matrix. In contrast, the 316L + (430L + TiC) system showed localized corrosion associated with micro-galvanic interactions, despite the chemical stability of TiC particles. Post-corrosion SEM and EDS confirmed chromium depletion and chloride accumulation at corroded sites, while WC particles exhibited partial dissolution. These findings highlight that ceramic reinforcements do not inherently improve corrosion resistance and may introduce localized degradation mechanisms. Nevertheless, LMD-fabricated multilayer coatings demonstrate potential for extending brake disc service life, provided that matrix-reinforcement interactions are carefully optimized.
