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

Quantifying defects in carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is crucial for ensuring quality control and structural integrity. Among non-destructive evaluation techniques, thermography has emerged as a promising solution for defect detection and characterization. This literature review synthesizes current advancements in active thermography methods, with a particular focus on vibrothermography and optical thermography, in identifying defects such as delaminations and barely visible impact damage (BVID) in CFRP composites. The review evaluates state-of-the-art techniques, highlighting the advanced applications of optical thermography. It identifies a critical research gap in the integration of vibrothermography with advanced image-processing methods, such as computer vision, which is more commonly applied in optical thermography. Addressing this gap holds significant potential to enhance defect quantification accuracy, improve maintenance practices, and ensure the safety of composite structures.
