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

Sandwich structures have gained much interest in drone manufacturing structures based on their lightweight design and excellent mechanical characteristics. In this work, a new solution for lightweight drone wing structures consisting of a thin sandwich skin, a main spar, and ribs was proposed. Seven sandwich structures based on prepreg-based CFRP skins and different cores were proposed for the wing drone sandwich skin. Thus, sandwiches with different chemical configurations and densities, such as ROHACELL 51, AIREX T92.100, balsa, AIREX R82.150, AIREX C71.75, NOMEX ECA-I, and Soric XF, were autoclave-manufactured and investigated. All the samples were tested under three-point bending. Also, microscopic analysis of the fracture zones was performed to establish a direct link between macroscopic flexural behavior and local failure mechanisms. A statistical analysis based on ANOVA with Box-Cox transformation followed by Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test was performed for flexural strength and flexural modulus. The results show that the sandwiches containing Soric XF foam with 62.5 kg/m
