Construction of metre-scale foldable space shelter based on gravity-driven self-assembling origami.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Space infrastructure to protect astronauts and equipment from various hazards is critical for sustainable exploration. However, conventional shelters are challenging to transport due to their large volume, and in-situ construction requires significant time. Deployable shelters can address volume constraints, but thin-panel designs often lack functionality and robustness. This study introduces an origami-inspired shelter made of thick panels that expands into a dome-like shape with a volume several times greater than its stowed configuration. Unlike conventional thick-panel designs, the proposed concept is scalable for various sizes and thicknesses and deployable through simple actuation using gravity and wire tension, without manual assembly. A meter-scale prototype demonstrates stable deployment within tens of seconds. This concept enhances transportability and ease of installation while maintaining protection performance, offering a practical solution for initial manned missions to celestial bodies.
