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
This paper investigates the use of glass and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites with epoxy matrices for non-pneumatic tires (NPTs), as an alternative to conventional elastomer-based designs. A novel NPT design approach was developed in three steps: (i) a finite element model with isotropic material properties was constructed to identify suitable spoke geometries; (ii) an anisotropic parametric study quantified key parameters influencing the load-bearing capability of two selected concepts from step (i); and (iii) a preferred version was chosen from step (ii) and evaluated under multiple load cases to ensure it met all requirements. The final tire design incorporates thick spiral spokes superimposed with a cosine-like function, showcasing the strengths and limitations of non-elastomeric reinforced polymers for NPT design. This study provides innovative insights into reducing the mass of NPTs and demonstrates the potential of fiber-reinforced polymer composites to achieve more lightweight, durable, and efficient NPT designs in comparison to pneumatic ones.
