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
In response to the growing demand for complex thin-walled lightweight alloy components in the automotive and aerospace industries, this study investigates the limitations of traditional gas pressure forming technologies. Using 2A12 aluminum alloy thin sheets as the research material, hot high-speed gas bulging experiments were conducted to study the effects of rapid inflation and rapid deflation processes on the forming accuracy, wall thickness, and strain distribution of bulged components. This aims to provide guidance for theoretical research and validate the superiority of the rapid deflation process. The results show that: (1) When forming cup-shaped components at 400 °C, the die-fitting degree of the component formed by the rapid deflation process reaches 89.5% and the minimum corner radius is 2.5 mm. Overall, the forming accuracy of this process is significantly superior to that of the rapid inflation process. (2) Within the temperature range of 400-450 °C, the rapid deflation process successfully formed a spherical-bottom component with a depth of 30 mm, overcoming the cracking defects induced by localized cooling and non-uniform temperature fields in the rapid inflation process, thereby improving the forming limit. (3) Under consistent conditions, the wall thickness uniformity of the sheet formed by the rapid deflation process is significantly higher than that of the sheet formed by rapid inflation, and the wall thickness uniformity improves with increasing temperature. Future work is expected to further enhance the repeatability and stability of forming accuracy and the forming limits of extreme geometries by further optimizing process parameters and expanding the material applicability range. This will provide practical technical support for the manufacturing of lightweight, high-performance aerospace equipment and automotive components.
