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
Ceria-based ceramics exhibit giant nonclassical electrostriction that is promising for high-performance electrostrictors, although their stability and reliability are rarely addressed and remain poorly understood. Here, we report anomalous electrostriction degradation in Sm-doped ceria (SDC) ceramics at room temperature. Under a modest AC electric field at 1 Hz, large electrostriction of 120 ppm is observed in pristine sample. Yet, after resting in ambient environment, electrostriction decreases by one order of magnitude without any electrochemical decomposition and phase transition. The oxygen vacancies are found to decrease in the degraded SDC as well, and the degradation does not occur at frequency of 500 Hz and higher, which exhibits electrostriction one order of magnitude smaller in the first place. We attribute the degradation to the redox reactions that induce oxygen vacancy complexes during field promoted reduction yet decrease mobile oxygen vacancies while resting, which must be mitigated for the practical applications of ceria-based electrostrictors.
