Cracks in tensile-contracting and tensile-dilating poroelastic materials.
Article in International journal of solids and structures, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Fibrous gels such as cartilage, blood clots, and carbon-nanotube-based sponges with absorbed oils suffer a reduction in volume by the expulsion of liquid under uniaxial tension, and this directly affects crack-tip fields and energy release rates. A continuum model is formulated for isotropic fibrous gels that exhibit a range of behaviors from volume increasing to volume decreasing in uniaxial tension by changing the ratio of two material parameters. The motion of liquid in the pores of such gels is modeled using poroelasticity. The direction of liquid fluxes around cracks is shown to depend on whether the gel locally increases or decreases in volume. The energy release rate for cracks is computed using a surface-independent integral and it is shown to have two contributions - one from the stresses in the solid network, and another from the flow of liquid. The contribution to the integral from liquid permeation tends to be negative when the gel exhibits volume decrease, which effectively is a crack shielding mechanism.
