Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigates the mechanical behavior and energy absorption characteristics of Modified Periodic Lattice Structures (MPLS), a class of mechanical metamaterials fabricated through Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) using PLA+. Five lattice samples with varying strut-hole diameters (MPLS-0, MPLS-5, MPLS-10, MPLS-15, and MPLS-20) were designed and subjected to uniaxial compression tests in accordance with ISO 13,314 standards. The impact of strut perforation on key mechanical metrics-including strength, energy absorption density (EAD), specific energy absorption (SEA), and efficiency of energy absorption (EAE)-was evaluated through both experimental testing and finite element (FE) simulations using Abaqus. The results revealed a clear trade-off between perforation size and mechanical integrity: MPLS-0 (solid struts) achieved the highest yield strength (13.61 MPa), EAD (13.26 J/cm³), and SEA (2.41 J/g), whereas MPLS-20 (largest perforations) dropped to 6.90 MPa, 6.04 J/cm³, and 1.15 J/g, respectively. Intermediate designs provided balanced outcomes: MPLS-5 and MPLS-10 preserved 83-75% of the solid strut strength while offering up to ~ 10% weight savings. FE simulations confirmed these findings and highlighted localized stress concentrations and torsional effects in hollow-strut lattices, especially in MPLS-15 and MPLS-20. Interestingly, higher-porosity lattices exhibited prolonged deformation before densification, suggesting potential advantages for energy dissipation and composite reinforcement despite reduced strength. Overall, moderate perforation (MPLS-5 and MPLS-10) offered an effective compromise between mass reduction and mechanical performance, emphasizing the role of controlled geometry in designing lightweight, impact-resistant components for aerospace, automotive, and protective systems.
