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

Aiming at the reduction in penetration depth caused by the deformation and fracture of conventional 90W-Ni-Fe rod penetrators during ultra-high-velocity penetration, a lightweight tungsten-based ceramic alloy was fabricated in this study. Ballistics tests were conducted to verify the penetration performance of the novel lightweight alloy against concrete targets, and the existing theoretical penetration model was modified accordingly. The results indicate that, within the impact velocity range of 1400~1750 m/s, the penetration depth of both rod penetrators presents an initial increasing and subsequent decreasing trend, with an extreme value near 1625 m/s and a dimensionless penetration depth
