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 structural resilience of skylights integrated with perforated aluminum panels (Mashrabiya) in healthcare facilities under arid climate conditions. This study is based on a real, constructed skylight system installed in a healthcare facility, offering a rare field-based assessment rather than a purely theoretical or simulated model. The motivation behind this work stems from the need for energy-efficient, structurally robust, and aesthetically appealing skylight systems capable of withstanding extreme wind loads. Unlike conventional skylight studies, this research introduces a comprehensive numerical modelling approach in SAP2000 that incorporates nonlinear geometric effects, second-order buckling analysis, and stress concentration factors for perforated panels. The study evaluates deflections, stresses, and demand-to-capacity ratios (DCRs) under a wind load of 1.2 kPa, in accordance with local Standards. A key novelty of this study is the integration of perforated panels as both aesthetic and functional elements, enhancing structural performance by dissipating wind-induced stresses. The results indicate that the maximum DCR is 0.46, ensuring a significant safety margin, while the perforated panels exhibit a maximum stress of 41.05 MPa, well below the allowable limit of 160 MPa. Additionally, a mesh sensitivity analysis was conducted to optimise computational accuracy while balancing efficiency. The perforated aluminium panels (Mashrabiya) serve a dual function, enhancing aesthetics and acting as structural elements to redistribute and dissipate wind-induced stresses, a novel approach in skylight system design. This research advances wind-resistant façade design in arid climates by offering practical recommendations for optimising skylight configurations. Future work should focus on experimental validation through wind testing, real-time load monitoring, and parametric studies to support further structural optimisation. Unlike prior parametric or purely analytical works, this paper is based on a field‑installed skylight structure, using full‑scale geometry and validated against site‑measured boundary conditions. The study bridges the gap between experimental contexts and numerical modelling, thereby offering both practical and methodological novelty.
