Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Recent advancements in reprogrammable metamaterials have enabled the development of intelligent matters with variable special properties in situ. These metamaterials employ intra-element physical reconfiguration and inter-element structural transformation. However, existing mono-characteristic homo-element mechanical metamaterials have limited reprogramming functions. Here, we introduce a reprogrammable mechanical metamaterial composed of origami elements with heterogeneous mechanical properties, which achieves various mechanical behavior patterns by functional group transformations and ring reconfigurations. Through the anisotropic assembly of two heterogeneous elements into a functional group, we enable mechanical behavior switching between positive and negative stiffness. The resulting polygonal ring exhibits rotational deformation, zero Poisson's ratio stretching/compression deformation, and negative Poisson's ratio auxetic deformation. Arranging these rings periodically yields homogeneous metamaterials. The reconfiguration of quadrilateral rings allows for continuous fine-tunability of the mechanical response and negative Poisson's ratio. This mechanical metamaterial could provide a versatile material platform for reprogrammable mechanical computing, multi-purpose robots, transformable vehicles and architectures at different scales.
