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

Multistable mechanical metamaterials have broad application prospects in various fields due to their unique configuration transformation ability, such as energy absorption, shape reconstruction, soft actuator design, mechanical storage, and logic operation. Currently, the steady-state transition mechanisms for most multistable mechanical metamaterials rely on translational displacement input, while the rotational input mechanisms are rarely studied. Here, a curved beam snap-fit structure is proposed to realize the multistable transition of metamaterials under rotational load. Their mechanical characteristics and influencing factors are discussed in detail through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental verification. In addition, related rotational multistable mechanical metamaterials prototypes are designed. Their potential applications in the fields of energy absorption or robotics are demonstrated, which opens up new ideas and directions for the multifunctional applications of mechanical metamaterials.
