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

Recent advancements in sensor technology have made in-situ crack assessment of structures feasible. To investigate the correlation between the ultrasonic amplitude and metal fatigue life, an aluminum compact tension (C(T)) specimen was fabricated to simulate fatigue damage in thin plate structures. An experimental investigation of fatigue crack propagation was performed, wherein the specimen experienced cyclic uniaxial tensile loading at constant amplitude. The crack propagation behavior was analyzed, and the relationship between crack length and the associated loading cycles was determined. Additionally, the evolution of the ultrasonic signal during crack propagation was investigated, and the quantitative dependence of the ultrasonic characteristic parameter on crack length was revealed. Finally, a model correlating ultrasonic characteristic parameters with loading cycles was developed, enabling fatigue life evaluation. The proposed method demonstrates significant potential for evaluating the fatigue life of thin plate structures.
