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

Magnesium (Mg) alloys offer high weight-saving potential for transportation technologies; however, their use remains constrained by poor corrosion resistance, which is strongly dependent on alloy purity. The presence of impurities, such as iron (Fe), severely degrades the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. Herein, we present an alloy design strategy that substantially improves the corrosion resistance, even when using low-purity Mg. Our method produces core-shell particles, where an Fe-rich core is encapsulated by an Fe-depleted shell embedded in the Mg matrix. This shell acts as a local microscavenger that isolates the core and suppresses impurity-triggered corrosion, resulting in corrosion resistance achievable only when using ultrahigh-purity Mg. This approach provides a practical pathway for the development of high-performance Mg alloys without relying on costly purification.
