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

Interface debonding between the steel tube and grouting materials in grouting jacket connections (GJCs) of offshore wind turbine supporting structures leads to negative effects on the load-carrying capacity and safety concerns. In this paper, an interface debonding defect detection and localization approach for scale underwater GJC specimens using surface wave measurement is proposed and validated numerically. A multi-physics finite element model (FEM) of underwater GJCs with mimicked interface debonding defects, surrounded by water, and coupled with surface-mounted piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) patches is established. Under the excitation of a five-cycle modulated signal, the surface stress wave propagation, including transmission, diffraction, and reflection, within the outer steel tube, grouting material, and inner steel tube is simulated. The influence of mimicked interface debonding defects of varying dimensions on stress wave propagation is systematically analyzed through stress wave field distributions at distinct time intervals. Additionally, the response of surface-mounted PZT sensors in the underwater GJC model under a one-pitch-one-catch (OPOC) configuration is analyzed. Numerical results demonstrate that the wavelet packet energy (WPE) of the surface wave measurement from the PZT sensors corresponding to the traveling path with a mimicked interface debonding defect is larger than that without a defect. To further localize the debonding region, a one pitch and multiple catch (OPMC) configuration is employed, and an abnormal value analysis is conducted on the WPEs of PZT sensor measurements with identical and comparable wave traveling patches. The identified debonding regions correspond to the simulated defects in the models.
