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

The development of novel β-titanium (β-Ti) alloys has become a promising strategy to overcome the intrinsic limitations of conventional biomaterials such as Ti-6Al-4 V and 316L stainless steel, particularly issues related to stress shielding and limited biocompatibility. In this study, equimassic β-Ti alloys (Ti-33Nb-33Zr, Ti-25Nb-25Zr-25Ta, and Ti-40Nb-40Zr) were designed, processed, and characterized with the objective of achieving an optimal balance between low elastic modulus and mechanical strength. The alloys were produced by arc melting and subsequently hot rolled, followed by comprehensive structural, thermal, and mechanical analyses. Microstructural characterization revealed a predominant β phase with minor α″ martensite, while both thermodynamic simulations and experimental results indicated β-transus temperatures below 500 °C. Among the investigated compositions, Ti-40Nb-40Zr exhibited the lowest elastic modulus (42 GPa), approaching that of human bone, combined with satisfactory mechanical strength and ductility (ultimate tensile strength: 791 MPa; elongation: 39%). In contrast, Ti-25Nb-25Zr-25Ta presented superior hardness (316 HV
