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
Sandwich panels are widely used in the naval and aerospace industries to withstand the normal tensile, compressive, and shear stresses associated with bending. The faces of sandwich composites are usually made of metals such as aluminum and, in some studies with composites, using a polymeric matrix, but there are no studies in the literature using a castor oil polyurethane matrix. The core of the panel must keep the faces apart and be rigid perpendicular to them. To begin the work, a study was carried out on the influence of alkaline treatment on sisal fibers to increase the fibers' adhesion to castor oil polyurethane. There are no relevant studies worldwide on the use of this resin and the adhesion of vegetable fibers to this polyurethane. In this work, a study was carried out through a three-point bending test of sandwich panels using faces of composite material with sisal fibers subjected to an alkaline treatment of 10% by weight of sodium hydroxide and an immersion time of 4 h in the dissolution, which was the best chemical treatment obtained initially in a castor oil polyurethane matrix. The honeycomb cores were made by 3D printer and in this study two different printing filament materials, PETG and PLA, and two different core heights were compared. As a result of a traction test, it was observed that sisal fibers with chemical treatment in a castor oil polyurethane matrix can be used in composites, although the stress levels obtained are 50% lower than the stresses obtained in other matrixes such as epoxy resin. The combination of sisal faces in a castor oil polyurethane matrix and honeycomb cores made in a 3D printer showed good properties, which allows the use of renewable, sustainable and less aggressive materials for the environment. In all tests, PETG was 21% to 32% stronger than PLA. Although there was no rupture in the test specimens, the PETG cores deformed 0.5% to 3.6% less than PLA. The composites with PLA were lighter, because the core density was 13.8% lower than the PETG cores. Increasing the height of the honeycomb increased its strength.
