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 engineering materials with high energy absorption are critical for various strategic fields. However, designing cellular materials that overcome the trade-off between density and energy dissipation remains challenging. Inspired by the wall-septum architecture of cuttlebone, we develop a lightweight cellular epoxy resin using a facile layer-by-layer freezing technique. The resulting material exhibits high compressive strength and specific energy absorption, reaching 34.5 J g
