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

Structural materials for protective applications are exposed to complex environments including impacts under a wide range of loading velocities. Bioinspired Bouligand-type structural materials show high impact resistance under quasi-static and low-velocity impacts. However, their protective performance under high-velocity impact is lacking investigation. Herein, we expand the Bouligand-type structure family by synergistically considering structural design and compositional regulation and highlight a double-twisted Bouligand structure with gradient composition (DT-Bou-G) for enhancing impact resistance under a wide range of loading velocities. As one demonstration, the DT-Bou-G structural material was fabricated by multimaterial fused deposition with stiff polylactic acid and soft thermoplastic polyurethane as raw materials. Experimental investigations show its superior impact-resistant capability under multiple loading velocities (0.5 millimeters per minute, 2.1 meters per second, 4.3 meters per second, and 120 meters per second). Finite element simulations further prove the mechanical result and reveal the underlying mechanisms. The DT-Bou-G structure will inspire the design of engineering protective materials capable of withstanding complex working conditions.
