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

Carbon nanotubes/2Al2 composites, due to their low density, high specific strength, and high elastic modulus, are representative lightweight structural materials for next-generation aerospace applications. Traditional processing methods are inefficient and have long production cycles, making them unsuitable for the demands of efficient, rapid, and intelligent manufacturing of complex structures. This article proposes the use of metal additive manufacturing technology to solve this problem. For the first time, a 22 mm high carbon nanotube/2Al2 composite was fabricated using additive friction stir deposition, and the changes in surface morphology, microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the as-deposited composite were systematically studied. After additive manufacturing, the composite exhibited a continuous and defect-free, typical onion-like structure. The as-deposited microstructure consists of uniformly equiaxed grains with an average grain size of 1.23 μm to 1.62 μm and uniformly distributed Al
