Performance of 3D-Printed Bionic Conch-Like Composite Plate under Low-Velocity Impact.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Biological armors can provide an effective protection against predators. In this study, inspired by conch shell, a new type of bionic composite plate Bio-S was fabricated and compared with two previously investigated designs inspired by beetle exoskeleton (Bio-B) and nacre (Bio-N), as well as with an equivalent monolithic plate formed from the same stiff material designed and manufactured by additive manufacturing. Low velocity impact tests using drop tower were conducted to study their impact resistance. Experimental findings indicated that the Bio-S composite had superior impact resistance compared with the other bionic composites and the monolithic plate. Furthermore, the influence of the ply angle on the impact resistance of the Bio-S composite plate was investigated. The (0°/30°/0°/30°) arrangement was able to provide the highest impact resistance. Finally, the crack propagation mode in Bio-S composites plates was analyzed, enhancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms during impact. Such findings may lead to the development of superior lightweight protective structures with improved anti-impact performance.
