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

Lightweight thin-walled energy-absorbing structures play a critical role in passive safety systems for automotive and aerospace engineering applications, yet simultaneously achieving high specific energy absorption and stable crushing behavior remains a persistent challenge. Inspired by the topology of natural honeycombs, this study proposes a novel modular assembled multi-cell carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) structure (MAMCS), fabricated via a cost-effective modular assembly strategy based on a wrapping process. Quasi-static axial crushing experiments combined with validated finite element simulations were employed to systematically investigate the effects of inner layup configurations ([0°/90°], [30°/-60°], [45°/-45°]), cell number, and inner sub-cell size on crushing behavior. Among the investigated layup configurations, the [0°/90°] inner layup exhibited superior mean crushing force (
