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

In order to advance the application of magnesium alloys as short-term implants, there is a growing need to further regulate the temporal evolution of their degradation rates to better align with clinical requirements. However, it is difficult for conventional bulk magnesium alloys. To address this limitation, this study developed a layered Mg-Mg2Zn-Mg4Zn-Mg6Zn-Mg4Zn-Mg2Zn-Mg laminate alloy (named as MZM in this study) based on a heterogeneous gradient structure (HGS) strategy, which created gradient heterogeneity in alloy composition, recrystallization degree, product layer, and interfacial features along the normal direction (ND), thereby establishing a synergistic interplay to achieve a progressively increasing degradation profile. The MZM was fabricated by stacking a series of Mg-Zn alloys with a symmetric gradient in Zn concentration (0, 2, 4, 6, 4, 2, 0 wt%) through two-pass hot rolling at nearly 400 °C, followed by quenching. The MZM alloy exhibited a low
