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
Electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) requires reliable in situ process monitoring, and electron emission signals offer a promising avenue for this purpose. Most prior studies have relied on dedicated beam scans performed before or after melting, leaving open the question of whether the signal acquired during the melt itself can directly indicate geometric and topographical features of the fabricated part. In this work, the in-operando electron emission signal was recorded during spot-melting of a Ti-6Al-4V spur gear and evaluated for its ability to reconstruct geometric features and surface topography, with optical microscopy and profilometry serving as ground truth. A melt-pool dilation correction was applied to compensate for the geometric expansion of individual melt spots. After correction, the in-operando reconstruction reached agreement deviation values below 2.2% across the tooth tips, tooth bases, and chord widths, which are comparable to or better than those obtained from post-melt ELO imaging. Comparison with profilometer height profiles confirmed strong correlation with surface topography (Pearson 0.67-0.87 across all four profiles,
