Experimental Study on Deep-Drawing Dies Made of Pre-Stressed UHPC.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Deep drawing is a cost-efficient way of producing sheet metal parts in high production volumes. Prototypes and very small series are expensive due to the cost of steel-forming tools. Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) tools offer a cheap and fast alternative to conventional steel-forming tools. However, the flexural and tensile strength of UHPC limits its use in complex loading situations occurring in the forming die during deep drawing. To overcome this challenge, we propose pre-stressing UHPC by using expansive UHPC in a mechanically restrained condition. An aluminum powder-based expansive agent can be used to induce a free volume increase in UHPC specimens. With push-out test specimens, the increase in strength was tested when restraining the free volume increase with a steel reinforcement. After 3 and 12 months, no notable pre-straining effect could be measured when restraining the expansion of UHPC. Nonetheless, in deep-drawing experiments, the die made of expansive UHPC in a restrained condition withstood a maximal load during deep drawing of 110 kN. Compared to the die made from UHPC only, the failure mode changed from complete fracture to surface degradation of the drawing radius after 15 strokes.
