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

We extend the hopping method, traditionally used in condensed matter physics to calculate electron distribution in crystalline structures, to mechanical systems. This extension offers an efficient and convenient approach for constructing the dynamical matrix, [Formula: see text], analogous to the quantum Hamiltonian. Not only does our method enhance computational efficiency, but it also provides valuable insights into the design of metamaterials. By exploring three key quantum hopping perspectives-connectivity, hopping interactions, and on-site potentials-we establish a unique design framework for mechanical systems. This framework enables the realization of similar connectivity topology in both ordered and disordered systems, anisotropic Dirac cones with confined modes, and near-zero topological modes. Our approach opens up broad perspectives for the design of metamaterials in classical mechanical systems.
