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

Understanding the mechanical behaviour of defective materials is key to predicting failure and enhancing performance. Traditional fracture mechanics often requires assumptions about geometry and loading that are unavailable in experimental systems. We present a MATLAB-based computational toolbox that extracts configurational forces and mixed-mode SIFs directly from experimentally measured displacement or deformation gradient fields, like digital image/volume correlation and high (angular) resolution electron backscatter diffraction. The toolbox implements path-independent energy integrals, including the Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00366-025-02262-5.
