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.
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
Tensegrities, consisting of axially pre-compressed bars and pre-stretched strings, hold broad applications in the design of, for instance, architectures, soft robotics and metamaterials. In this paper, we propose an enumeration-screening method to design planar tensegrities of simple polygonal shapes. In such a polygonal tensegrity, the strings are joined pair-wise to form a simple polygon (a planar shape consisting of straight, non-intersecting line segments) and only one bar is added at each node. The total number of simple polygonal tensegrities designed by this scheme increases exponentially with the number of bars. Moreover, we demonstrate that each of these designed topologies can produce a self-equilibrated and stable tensegrity configuration. This work helps understand the topological features of simple polygonal tensegrities, which can be used as elementary cells to design some novel two- and three-dimensional tensegrity structures.
