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

Whole-body vibration exposure is a critical factor affecting human health and comfort, particularly for individuals operating on/off-road vehicles. Prior studies have focused on male biomechanical models. This study intentions to develop a new female-specific biomechanical model to analyze and optimize biodynamic responses under vertical vibration conditions. The objective is to introduce a ten degrees-of-freedom (dofs) biomechanical model tailored for the female body, considering the average weight of human beings. The new model has compared against existing male-oriented models to evaluate its effectiveness. The female body is divided into ten key segments: head, pelvis thorax, abdomen, left upper arm, left hand, left forearm, right upper arm, right forearm, and right hand. Mechanical properties are adjusted based on female-specific mass distribution, stiffness, and damping characteristics. The Firefly Algorithm is used for parameter optimization. The biodynamic responses, including seat-to-head transmissibility, apparent mass, and driving point mechanical impedance, are evaluated and compared with previous male models. The optimized female model exhibits distinct biodynamic response characteristics due to anatomical and biomechanical differences. The goodness of fit analysis indicates improved predictive accuracy for female subjects, suggesting the necessity for gender-specific modelling in vibration analysis.
