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

Advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer new opportunities to improve accessibility and usability of finite-element (FE) modeling in injury biomechanics. This study presents an LLM-based tool capable of guiding novice users in selecting response surface models trained on FE simulation results and predicting injury outcomes in Behind Armor Blunt Trauma scenarios. Beyond executing predictive tasks, the LLM-based tool communicates complex injury metrics in clear, non-technical language, facilitating broader understanding and adoption of sophisticated modeling frameworks. These findings highlight the potential of integrating LLMs with FE modeling to bridge expertise gaps, enhance interactivity, and support decision-making in injury prediction and other engineering domains.
