An Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Ti Films Reinforced with Wood Composites by Growing Ti Particles on a Wood Substrate.
Article in Polymers, 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
Table tennis racquet blades (TTRBs) are specialized wood materials known for their excellent mechanical properties. As one of the widely used physical vapor deposition technologies, magnetron sputtering has become the most effective method for preparing various thin film materials. In this study, the surface of the TTRB is coated with a Ti film with different thicknesses by magnetron sputtering to improve the performance of the TTRB. The surface roughness, crystal structure, viscoelasticity of the TTRB were analyzed by means of non-contact surface profilometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In order to effectively test TTRB properties, three types of testing devices were designed, including free-fall rebound, laser vibration measurement, and the dynamic rebound test. The results reveal that the deposition of a Ti film on the surface of the TTRB improves the rigidity and rebound efficiency of the TTRB. Under optimized conditions, the initial amplitude, vertical rebound distance, and rebound rate can reach 2.1 μm, 23.7 cm, 13.7%, respectively, when the deposition thickness is 5 μm. It is anticipated that the modification and the corresponding detection methods developed in this study can foster innovative product development, standardize the TTRB industry, and contribute to the advancement of table tennis.
