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

In this work, we use computer simulations (Molecular Dynamics) to analyse the behaviour of a specific auxetic hierarchical mechanical metamaterial composed of square-like elements. We show that, depending on the design of hinges connecting structural elements, the system can exhibit a controllable behaviour where different hierarchical levels can deform to the desired extent. We also show that the use of different hinges within the same structure can enhance the control over its deformation and mechanical properties, whose results can be applied to other mechanical metamaterials. In addition, we analyse the effect of the size of the system as well as the variation in the stiffness of its hinges on the range of the exhibited auxetic behaviour (negative Poisson's ratio). Finally, it is discussed that the concept presented in this work can be used amongst others in the design of highly efficient protective devices capable of adjusting their response to a specific application.
