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 research paper investigates the shear response of pyramidal lattice (PL) sandwich cores, where square-shaped strut cross-sections are geometrically modified into I-beam-like configurations. These PL sandwich cores are 3D printed via Digital Light Processing (DLP), and their shear performance is experimentally and numerically evaluated for various I-beam-like strut cross-sections. The measurements reveal that PL structures with I-beam struts outperform conventional square-beam structures in terms of shear modulus (+ 13%), shear strength (+ 11%) and gravimetric energy (+ 24%). These improvements are attributed to the larger bending stiffness of the I-beam struts, enhancing their capacity to resist shear loads. A numerical parametric study further examines how various architectural parameters of the tailored PL structure affect the shear performance, showing significant enhancements in shear modulus (6-23%), shear strength (3-16%), and gravimetric energy (8-25%) compared to square-strut PL structures of equal weight. Additionally, a simple analytical model is developed to estimate the strength enhancements, demonstrating a reasonable agreement with the numerical predictions and measurements. Notably, a reduction of the internal strut angle to 30° is found to enhance the shear strength of the PL structure in both shearing directions, making this arrangement an excellent choice for sandwich designs where core shear failure is a limiting factor.
