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

Water-cooled tungsten targets may remain in contact with stagnant deionized water during accelerator shutdown, creating a beam-off corrosion condition distinct from irradiation-assisted service. Untreated tungsten (W), laser-ablated tungsten (LA-W), and a 500 nm tantalum-coated laser-ablated tungsten surface (Ta-LA-W) were therefore immersed in deionized water for up to 28 days. Laser ablation replaced the machined surface with a hierarchical micro/nanostructure and increased the areal roughness Sa from 0.22 ± 0.01 to 1.75 ± 0.07 μm; after Ta deposition, Sa was 1.62 μm. LA-W exhibited the largest topographic attenuation and the highest dissolved W concentration, reaching 7.915 mg·L
