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

Multilayer composite materials often develop internal defects at varying depths due to manufacturing and environmental factors. Traditional planar scanning methods lack the ability to pinpoint defect locations in depth. This study proposes a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS)-based defect detection method using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to convert spectral signals into time-frequency images. These are analyzed by the ResNet18 model combined with a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Comparative experiments with four classical deep learning models and three classifiers show that the Residual Network with 18 layers (ResNet18-SVM) approach achieves the highest accuracy of 98.56%, effectively identifying three types of defects. The results demonstrate the method's strong feature extraction, depth resolution, and its potential for nondestructive evaluation of multilayer structures.
