Shape-morphing into 3D curved surfaces with nacre-like composite architectures.
Article in Science advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Inhomogeneous in-plane deformation of soft materials or cutting and folding of inextensible flat sheets enables shape-morphing from two dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D), while the resulting structures often have weakened mechanical strength. Shells like nacre are known for the superior fracture toughness due to the "brick and mortar" composite layers, enabling stress redistribution and crack stopping. Here, we report an optimal and universal cutting and stacking strategy that transforms composite plies into 3D doubly curved shapes with nacre-like architectures. The multilayered laminate exhibits staggered cut distributions, while the interlaminar shear mitigates the cut-induced mechanical weakness. The experimentally consolidated hemispherical shells exhibit, on average, 37 and 69% increases of compression peak forces, versus those with random cut distributions, when compressed in different directions. Our approach opens a previously unidentified paradigm for shape-conforming arbitrarily curved surfaces while achieving high mechanical performance.
