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

This study aims to transfer the entire kinetic energy of a geometrically unique 9 × 19 mm bullet onto the target without compromising its penetration capability. In an era where asymmetric security threats are increasingly prevalent, the newly designed bullet core is proposed as a potential "force multiplier" for security forces. The ANSYS Explicit Dynamics finite element model was employed to investigate the penetration behaviors of both the newly designed and currently used 9 × 19 mm bullets into human tissue analogs. %10 ballistic gelatin was utilized to simulate human tissue in the experiments. In this paper, the penetration effects of the newly designed and in-service 9 × 19 mm bullets on ballistic gelatin were first numerically modeled using finite element methods (FEM). The numerical findings were subsequently validated through experimental testing. Results indicated that the bullet featuring the new geometric design produced greater damage to the ballistic gelatin compared to the conventional design.
