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
This paper presents a new analytical model of a conical bridge-type displacement amplification mechanism (DAM) considering the effect of external loads and a piezostack actuator (PSA). With the merits of simple implementation and better fitting, the non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) is employed to parameterize conical connecting beams of the DAM, and an analytical model of the displacement amplification ratio and input stiffness is established based on Castigliano's second theorem. After that, considering the interactions with elastic loads and PSA, the actual displacement amplification ratio of the conical DAM is obtained, and the effect of the shape of connecting beams in the performance of the DAM is further analyzed. The proposed analytical model is verified by finite element analysis (FEA), and the results show a maximum error of 6.31% between the calculated value and FEA results, demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed model. A prototype of the conical DAM with optimized shape is fabricated and experimentally tested, which further validates the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed analytical model. The proposed model offers a new method for analysis and shape optimization of the bridge-type DAM under specific elastic loads.
