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

The rupture of hydrogels and swellable elastomers involves large deformations, and there exists a large literature devoted to their experimental characterization including methods for measuring and enhancing fracture toughness. Analytical investigations of the fracture of hydrogels have recognized the importance of large deformations and the contributions of liquid flow, but they have largely been restricted to plane-strain formulations that ignore through-thickness effects. In this paper, boundary-initial value problems for cracked specimens are solved in plane-strain and three dimensions for both permeable and impermeable boundary conditions and various rates of loading. The transient stress, strain and chemical potential fields near the crack tip/front are found to be notably different than the asymptotic solutions of linear poroelasticity and large deformation plane-strain formulations. The energy release rate is computed using a poroelastic path-independent integral
