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 the context of increasing requirements for product quality and reduction in environmental impact, the improvement of aluminium alloy casting processes has become an important research area within Industry 4.0 and industrial digitalisation. The aim of this study was to develop a KPI-based model supporting the optimisation of high-pressure aluminium alloy casting processes, considering its influence on material properties and environmental performance. An important aspect of the proposed model is its adaptive potential and its implementation in real industrial conditions, which increases its application relevance in modern production systems. A set of key performance indicators describing process stability, quality, and resource efficiency was defined and linked to casting process parameters. KPI dashboards were developed to support the visualisation and analysis of key process parameters in relation to main and auxiliary processes. The analysis included microstructure evaluation and mechanical property assessment as a function of KPI values. The results confirm that the integration of KPIs within an Industry 4.0-oriented approach under conditions of industrial digitalisation supports effective optimisation of high-pressure aluminium alloy casting processes, leading to improved material quality and improved production sustainability.
