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
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables are essential for long-distance power transmission, particularly in renewable energy applications. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation is commonly used in these cables, but protrusion defects that occur during manufacturing can distort the electric field and initiate partial discharge (PD), accelerating insulation degradation. In this study, partial discharge experiments were conducted at 50 °C and 80 kV to investigate the behavior of internal semi-conductive protrusion defects in insulation, following methodologies aligned with relevant industry standards IEC 60270 for partial discharge measurements. This voltage condition is obtained from the previous pre-test using the same model, and can ensure that the cable can generate partial discharge under the conditions of 50°C and 80kV, but there will be no rapid deterioration of the cable leading to breakdown, which meets the needs of this experiment. The discharge process is divided into stages, and the relationship between discharge frequency, quantity, and cumulative discharge is explored. The results reveal a clear increase in discharge activity, especially in the fourth stage, which corresponds to the accelerated development of the discharge channel and impending insulation breakdown. These findings provide valuable insights into the defect's progression and highlight the risks of protrusion defects in HVDC cable insulation. This research contributes to the understanding of insulation degradation mechanisms and offers important data for improving the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of HVDC cables.
