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

The effect of microstructural evolution on mechanical behavior of carbon/carbon composites after heat treatment has been investigated. Two kinds of samples, heat-treated at 2300 °C and 2700 °C, were used in the current study. As the heat treatment temperature is 2700 °C, the pyrolytic carbon acquires a higher orientation via carbon atomic layer rearrangement, accompanied by microstructural evolution such as self-healing of concentric ring cracks, narrowing of the fiber/matrix interface and bridging between adjacent fibers. This microstructural evolution results in a significant decline in the mechanical properties of the composites: compressive strength, flexural strength, and shear strength decreased by approximately 60%, 68%, and 71%, respectively, while the corresponding fracture strains increased by 52%, 25%, and 19%, respectively, indicating an improvement in pseudoplasticity.
