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
In this study, a modified imaging algorithm was implemented to improve the imaging accuracy for defects located on a structure. Based on analysis of the Lamb wave mode, a guided ultrasonic wave inspection technique was applied, which was able to illustrate images of defects in a 6 mm steel plate simulating containment liner plate (CLP) in nuclear power plants. The dominant Lamb wave mode was determined through short-time Fourier transform waveform analysis and imaging verification. Following tomography verification, limitations of the antisymmetric mode in the thick steel plate were identified. In addition, a modified shape factor, based on the energy distribution factor according to the beam pattern and beam width, was suggested for field applications and improved imaging accuracy. Results of the analysis revealed a beam skewing phenomenon for the Lamb wave mode. In the case of S0 2.7 MHz·mm, skewing as well as distortion effects are not observed in the experiment, while the S0 modes at 2.64 and 2.74 MHz·mm show either of them. Considering skewing width, the size of the shape function was modified. Application of the modified shape function allows us to obtain more accurate image to actual defect shape.
