1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fatigue life testing is a complex and costly matter, especially in the case of fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, where other parameters in addition to force alone must be taken into account. The number of tests required therefore increases significantly, especially if the influence of different fibre orientations is to be taken into account. It is therefore important to gain the greatest possible amount of knowledge from the limited number of available tests. In order to achieve this, this study aims to utilise adaptive sampling, which is used in numerous areas of computational engineering, for the design of experiments on fatigue life testing. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are therefore trained on data for the short-fibre-reinforced material PBT GF30, and their areas of greatest model uncertainty are queried. This was undertaken with ANNs from various numbers of hidden layers, which were analysed for their performance. The ideal case turned out to be four hidden layers, for which a squared error as small as 1 × 10
