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

As a branch of nondestructive testing (NDT), Pulsed Eddy Current Testing (PECT) is characterized by its wide frequency spectrum and high penetration depth. After years of development, it has been widely applied to defect detection and material characterization of key components in industries such as petrochemicals, new energy, and aerospace. With the large-scale application of new energy sources like liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, and liquid hydrogen, the demand for NDT of non-ferromagnetic materials (e.g., austenitic stainless steel) has surged. However, challenges such as electromagnetic leakage caused by low magnetic permeability and the lift-off effect induced by protective layers impose stricter requirements on inspection technologies, driving the evolution of PECT towards adaptability in complex scenarios. This paper systematically reviews the latest advances in PECT technology, covering detection sensors, modeling methods, detection signal processing, and engineering applications. With a particular emphasis on research outcomes from the past decade, this paper also proposes potential directions for future development, aiming to provide a reference for innovative research and the industrial promotion of PECT technology.
