A New Paradigm of Magnetron Target Design.

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 communication discusses the problem of depositing equiatomic metal alloy films. It is shown that this problem can be solved using a magnetron equipped with a target constructed using a new "multilayer target" paradigm. This target, sputtered in an argon environment, consists of several parallel metal plates mounted on the magnetron axis. A method based on the equality of the sputtered fluxes generated by the plates is proposed for calculating the geometric dimensions of the plates. This equality leads to a system of algebraic equations, which are proposed to be solved under the assumption of a uniform discharge current density distribution in the sputtering region of the target. The communication describes two types of targets in which the plates have slots of different shapes. In one case, the slots are shaped as sectors of a ring with a given angle. In the other, the plates are shaped as rings. As examples, the geometric dimensions of targets for a balanced magnetron system intended for the deposition of films of equiatomic Ti
