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

Chemical short-range order (CSRO), the non-random local arrangement of atoms in solid solutions, strongly affects the phase stability and performance of medium- and high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs). Despite its importance, the fundamental nature of CSRO formation remains contested: is it a formal thermodynamic transition? Here, investigating CoCrNi as a model system, we indicate that the main CSRO transformations observed in alloys might not be classical thermodynamic transitions, but instead a kinetic arrest phenomenon analogous to the glass transition. Combining atomistic simulations and in situ synchrotron dilatometry experiments enabled the study of CSRO evolution and its structural impact across multiple length scales. For example, CSRO-driven changes in bond lengths and bond distribution significantly impact the observed lattice parameter and volume, allowing Warren-Cowley parameter values to be determined over a full experimental temperature range. We demonstrate that the degree of CSRO and the apparent transition temperatures, defined here as the komplex reaction temperatures (T
