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

Using low-pressure cold spray technique, Fe-Al composite coatings with different Al contents were applied to the surface of 45 steel to improve its corrosion resistance in chloride-containing settings. The microstructure, mechanical characteristics, and electrochemical corrosion behavior of the coatings were thoroughly examined in relation to the Al content (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%). The findings show that the microhardness of the composite coating decreases monotonically (from 157.98 HV to 99.29 HV) as the Al content rises because of the increased proportion of the soft phase; in contrast, the porosity and corrosion current density show a pattern of first decreasing and then increasing. The coating porosity was reduced to a minimum (1.37%) when the Al concentration reached 6 wt.% because the soft Al particles experienced enough plastic flow to fill the holes in the hard Fe matrix. The 6Al composite coating demonstrated the best electrochemical protection performance in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, with the lowest corrosion current density (2.237 × 10
