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
Metallic materials are generally efficient sound conductors, posing challenges for applications requiring acoustic insulation. Traditional methods, such as drilling arrays of holes, compromise structural integrity and mechanical performance. This study introduces an approach utilizing laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)-printed CrMnFeCoNi high entropy alloy (HEA) samples with optimized intrinsic internal voids during manufacturing to achieve broadband acoustic insulation. Utilizing the inherent voids in LPBF-fabricated HEAs makes it possible to achieve effective sound attenuation through Anderson localization without additional damping materials or compromising mechanical integrity. Numerical simulations reveal pronounced wave localization effects induced by random backscattering, resulting in an exponential decay of sound propagation. Experimental validation demonstrates that LPBF-fabricated HEA samples exhibit superior sound insulation, achieving an average sound transmission reduction of -65 dB over a 10 mm sample thickness with respect to lossless water medium. Remarkably, even with a defect fraction exceeding 25%, these samples retain hardness values approximately 10% higher than stainless steel 316.
