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

Zinc (Zn) alloys are widely studied as biodegradable materials for interventional medical applications. However, Zn alloys produced by traditional casting and extrusion methods exhibit uneven corrosion resistance due to the presence of large intermetallic particles and a coarse microstructure. In this study, we demonstrate that melt spinning significantly refines the microstructure and intermetallics, thereby enhancing the alloy's corrosion uniformity. The grain size distribution is reduced from 3-11 μm to 0.8-1.2 μm, with an increase in the proportion of recrystallized regions and a decrease in crystal preferential orientation. Additionally, we report a simultaneous decrease in both the volume fraction and the number density of
