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
Melt-blown thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) non-woven fabrics are increasingly valued in biomedical and industrial applications due to their elasticity, breathability, and skin compatibility. However, the relationship between their microscale fibrous network architecture and macroscopic properties remains insufficiently understood. This study investigates the influence of fiber diameter, porosity, and grammage on the mechanical properties of TPU non-woven fabrics through experimental characterization and finite element modeling (FEM). TPU pellets were melt-blown into fabrics with controlled structural variations, and their properties were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile testing, and air permeability measurements. Multiple linear regression (MLR) revealed that increased grammage predominantly enhances tensile strength (transverse
