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

This study investigates the effect of hygrothermal environments on the compressive properties of three-dimensional four-directional braided composites through experiments and finite element simulations, revealing the degradation behavior under various hygrothermal conditions. The results indicate that the moisture absorption behavior of the material conforms to Fick's law. The longer the hygrothermal aging duration and the higher the temperature, the more significant the reduction in compressive performance, as evidenced by the continuous decline in ultimate stress. The hygrothermal environment primarily affects material performance through moisture absorption and thermal expansion characteristics of the epoxy resin, while the carbon fibers exhibit high stability in such conditions, maintaining the integrity of the three-dimensional four-directional structure. Microscopic observations reveal that hygrothermal aging exacerbates damage at the resin-fiber interface, leading to more pronounced stress concentration. Finite element simulations further quantify the internal stress distribution under hygrothermal conditions, demonstrating that moisture-induced expansion stress is more significant than thermal expansion stress, providing theoretical support and design guidance for improving the performance of composites in extreme environments.
