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

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in civil, marine, offshore, and energy infrastructure, where components routinely experience temperatures above ambient conditions. While the design of these components is largely driven by fiber-dominated characteristics, the deterioration of shear properties can lead to premature weakening and even failure. Thus, the performance and reliability of these systems depend intrinsically on the response of interlaminar shear characteristics, in-plane shear characteristics, and flexure-based shear characteristics to thermal loads ranging from uniform and monotonically increasing to cyclic and spike exposures. This paper presents a critical review of current knowledge of shear response in the presence of thermal exposure, with emphasis on temperature regimes that are below T
