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 dynamic impact between a particle and a planar material is important in many high impact events, and there is a growing need to characterize the mechanical properties of light-weight polymeric materials at dynamic loading conditions. Here, a laser-induced projectile impact test (LIPIT) is employed to investigate the ballistic limit (V0) and materials properties at impact velocities ranging from 40 m s-1 to 70 m s-1. An analytical expression describing the various energy dissipation mechanisms is established to estimate the yield stress and elasticity for polycarbonate thin films. This measurement approach demonstrates the utility of using low sample mass for discovery of materials for impact mitigation, as well as high-throughput mechanical characterization at dynamic loading rates.
