One-degree-of-freedom flat-foldable thick-panel origami-kirigami structures: modular arrays and closed polyhedra.
Article in Communications engineering, 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
Origami structures hold promising potential in space applications, such as ultra-large-area solar arrays, deployable space stations, and extra-terrestrial modular foldable buildings. However, the development of thick-panel origami structures has been limited, relying on a few typical origami patterns without a comprehensive design theory for multi-crease, multi-vertex thick-panel configurations. Additionally, realizing closed Polyhedra in thick-panel origami presents substantial challenges. Here, we introduce a design methodology inspired by origami and kirigami principles for one-degree-of-freedom (one-DOF) flat-foldable thick-panel origami-kirigami structures, including modular scalable arrays and closed polyhedral structures. The thick-panel origami-kirigami modular scalable arrays incorporate mixed four-crease vertices and (2n + 4)-crease vertices, enabling one-DOF flat-foldability and modular expansion of thick-panel units. The thick-panel origami-kirigami closed polyhedral structures, including tetrahedrons, square pyramids and triangular prisms, possess one-DOF inward-flat-foldability and structural closure after unfolding. This novel design framework for thick-panel origami-kirigami structures is capable of structural design from centimeter to meter scale, validated by kinematic analysis and prototype experiments.
