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

Auxetic structures, characterized by a negative Poisson's ratio and unique form-fitting deformation, are adopted for designing a bra pad that would facilitate bras with a flexible and adaptive fit. This study compares the pressure distribution between auxetic and traditional molded bra pads, highlighting the advantages of auxetic materials in applying uniform pressure and addressing health concerns. Seven athletic female participants with a bra size of 75B comprise the study sample. Anthropometric data of naked breasts are collected by using three-dimensional (3D) scanning to obtain the underbust and full bust dimensions in the standing and leaning forward positions, while the pressure distribution is measured with the Novel Pliance
