Bandwidth broadening in cavity-type sound-absorbing metamaterials via additional equivalent stiffness.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The fixed acoustic characteristics of unit-cell cavities fundamentally limit the broadband sound absorption performance of cavity-type sound-absorbing metamaterials. This study identifies that the primary cause of the fixed acoustic characteristics in unit-cell cavities lies in the acoustic rigidity boundary conditions of the cavity walls. Based on this insight, a band-pass acoustic valve structure is proposed to replace conventional acoustic rigidity boundaries. Additionally, a framework of “band-pass acoustic valve–additional equivalent stiffness–impedance matching” is introduced to broaden the bandwidth of cavity-type sound-absorbing metamaterials. The method addresses the dual challenges of narrowband absorption limitations and the degradation of absorption peaks caused by cavity boundary gradually transforming states. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared to traditional cavity-type sound-absorbing metamaterials, the proposed metamaterial incorporating band-pass acoustic valves achieves a 65% increase in sound absorption bandwidth without an increase in size. This work provides a practical approach for achieving high-efficiency broadband sound absorption under spatial constraints.
