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

Lightweight structural composite materials are widely used in automobiles, aerospace, and other fields. However, achieving the integration of structural and functional properties, such as the ability to monitor external forces, remains a significant challenge. Nacre and turtle shells in nature are strong and tough due to their unique ordered structure of alternating soft and hard phases. Inspired by this, an interface anchoring strategy is proposed which leverages hyphae (filamentous structure forming the vegetative part of fungi) to fix the hard-phase graphene nanosheets (GNs) and the soft-phase intertwined polymer matrix to form theree-dimentional (3D) layered bulk composites (LBCs). The growth pattern of fungi is utilized to place GNs and assemble polyethylene glycol-polyvinyl alcohol (PEG-PVA) to fabricate the LBCs, which is different from most existing preparation methods of bulk biomimetic composites. The LBCs exhibit self-regenerative capabilities and are amenable to scalable manufacturing. These composites demonstrate impressive mechanical properties, including a specific strength of 92.8 MPa g cm
