Stiffness and Density Relationships in Additively Manufactured Structures: A Virial Theorem-Based Approach.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Topological optimization uses two main optimization conditions aimed at achieving the maximum stiffness at minimum weight of the loaded object, while not exceeding the allowable stress. This process naturally creates complex structures with varying degrees of density. There is a certain regularity between the density of the structure and stiffness, with the optimal density being related to the golden ratio. This study contributes to materials modeling and their characterization by introducing a mathematical theory related to the virial theorem as a predictive framework for understanding stiffness-density relationships in additively manufactured structures. The definition of virial stability and the methodology for deriving this stability from the kinetic and potential components of a random signal are introduced. The proposed virial-based model offers a generalizable tool for materials characterization, applicable not only to topological optimization but also to broader areas of materials science and advanced manufacturing.
