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
Ultrafast femtosecond lasers, with their unique "cold ablation" characteristics, exhibit broad application prospects in the machining of complex hard surfaces of high-end aerospace equipment (e.g., face gears). However, existing femtosecond ablation prediction models are mostly based on the assumption of normal plane irradiation, severely ignoring the drastic variations in the dynamic angle of incidence (θ) caused by complex three-dimensional geometric topologies. Addressing this theoretical gap, this paper innovatively proposes a 3D nonlinear ablation prediction model coupling the dynamic evolution of local incident angles and the multi-pulse incubation effect. First, the spatial incident angles at the micro-nodes of the face gear tooth surface are extracted via a discrete meshing method. Subsequently, by integrating the dynamic polarization reflectivity of the 18Cr2Ni4WA alloy with the spatial projection distortion of the Gaussian beam, closed-form analytical solutions for the elliptical spot area, the effective material removal area, and the central pit depth-incorporating the effective penetration depth-are derived. Simultaneous five-axis laser machining experiments and computer vision-based morphological feature extraction (eccentricity quantification) confirm that: within the range of small to medium incident angles ([Formula: see text]), the experimentally measured morphological evolution is highly consistent with the theoretical model ([Formula: see text]). However, approaching the extreme large angle ([Formula: see text]), the ablation spot severely degrades into an asymmetrical "spindle" shape, and the machining depth experiences an anomalous nonlinear plunge. Combined with ultrafast dynamic analysis, it is revealed that this extreme morphological distortion is primarily attributed to the asymmetrical plasma inverse Bremsstrahlung shielding induced by the large angle, as well as the hindered recast layer expulsion dynamics under high-frequency thermal accumulation. This study profoundly reveals the microscopic evolution laws of laser-material spatiotemporal coupling on complex continuous surfaces, providing a solid theoretical foundation for adaptive trajectory and energy compensation strategies in future multi-axis femtosecond laser precision modifications.
