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

Sandwich panels with trapezoidal (corrugated) cores combine low weight, high specific stiffness, and energy absorption capability. This study analyzes four configurations with different core heights by means of microstructural analyses (optical microscopy, SEM/EDS, XRD) and quasi-static compression tests. The tests yield stress-strain curves with an initial linear stage, a peak, a plateau, and a densification stage. Peak stresses range from 0.5 MPa for the thickest core (P1) to 6.2 MPa for the thinnest core (P4), while the energy absorbed density (EAD) increases with strain: at ε = 30% it varies from 0.031 to 0.670 J/cm
