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.
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
This study investigates the mechanical performance and fatigue behavior of a woven glass fiber-reinforced epoxy laminated composite classified as IEC 60893 EPGC 203, widely used in structural insulating components for high-voltage (HV) equipment. With evolving energy infrastructures introducing dynamic and cyclic loading conditions, understanding the long-term mechanical reliability of such materials has become increasingly important. A comprehensive experimental program was conducted, including flexural, compressive, tensile, Charpy impact, and fatigue tests. Mechanical properties were evaluated according to relevant ISO standards at room temperature and 120 °C to assess temperature-dependent performance. Fatigue tests were performed under fully reversed loading conditions (R=-1), and stress-life (S-N) curves were established. The results revealed notable reductions in strength and stiffness at elevated temperature, together with progressive damage accumulation under cyclic loading. Failure features observed after fatigue testing were correlated with static mechanical properties to improve understanding of degradation behavior. The study is limited to the mechanical and fatigue characterization of EPGC 203 and does not include dielectric evaluation. Therefore, its relevance to HV applications is considered from the standpoint of the mechanical reliability of structural insulating components. The findings provide essential insights into the durability and reliability of EPGC 203 composites under realistic service conditions.
