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

Additive manufacturing of copper alloys remains challenging due to their high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, which limit laser energy absorption and increase energy consumption. In this study, the laser powder bed fusion of a copper-based CuNi2.5SiCr alloy is demonstrated using low laser powers (67.2-100.8 W). Samples fabricated at 67.2 W achieved a relative density of 96.8%, with no significant improvement observed at higher laser powers. The post-process heat treatments were conducted at 750 °C, 850 °C, and 950 °C to investigate their influence on microstructure, hardness, electrical and thermal conductivity. Heat treatment at 850 °C resulted in the highest hardness, improved microstructural uniformity and 20 W/mK thermal conductivity, while the as-fabricated samples exhibited the highest electrical conductivity (1.07 × 10
