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

Interlayered composites with three types of cores were fabricated and tested. Quasi-static penetration tests (QSPTs), bending tests, and impact tests were conducted on the fabricated composites with carbon fiber epoxy laminate facings. Penetration test procedures were carried out until the composite was perforated and completely punctured. A 9 mm diameter rounded-tip punch was used; the diameter of the support hole was 45 mm. To determine the mechanical properties in the bending tests, three-point bending was carried out at a speed of 2 mm/min. Impact tests were also carried out using a Charpy impact test and a hammer with an energy of 2 J. Our findings indicate that the core material plays a crucial role in determining a composite's mechanical behavior. Balsa cores offer the best properties in the QSPT test and bending strength and stiffness (57 MPa and 7.4 GPa, respectively), while Rohacell
