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

Composite materials are increasingly being implemented in various solutions, ranging from conventional applications, like furniture, to more advanced ones, such as aerospace, based on their excellent properties, such as high mechanical strength and low weight. There are applications in which these materials are coupled to other parts. To achieve this connection, drilling processes are commonly used. Drilling causes irreversible damage to the material, which influences the mechanical strength of the plates. This study was conducted on 48 carbon/epoxy plates, each with two drilled holes, based on DOE (design of experiments) and the Taguchi method to design the experimental plan and to validate the results. Three control factors were considered for drilling: drill bit type, cutting speed, and feed rate, as it is expected that a low feed rate and a high cutting speed is the drilling configuration that inflicts the least damage. Subsequently, these specimens were subjected to enhanced radiography and an image analysis processing tool based on MatLab
