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

We reconsider the plane deformation of an isotropic elastic solid matrix enclosing macroscale compressible fluid inclusions. The initial pressure inside the fluid inclusions proves to play a significant role in tuning the elastic response of the solid-fluid composite to external loadings. Such initial pressure effects cannot be captured via the classical treatment based on linear elasticity. We follow a modified boundary condition proposed earlier in the literature to examine the influence of the initial pressure in the inclusions on the external loading-induced local and overall elastic behavior of the composite for general shapes of the inclusions. Specifically, we derive initial pressure-dependent closed-form solutions for incremental stress distributions (caused by an in-plane far-field loading) around an isolated fluid inclusion of practically arbitrary shape and then attain initial pressure-dependent in-plane effective properties of the composite containing randomly distributed fluid inclusions (for a given volume fraction) based on certain homogenization methods. Numerical results are presented mainly for a soft elastic solid containing, respectively, approximately regular polygonal liquid inclusions, approximately rectangular liquid inclusions and elliptical liquid inclusions. We show that the initial pressure in the inclusions always enhances the effective moduli of the corresponding composites and that for given volume fraction of the inclusions such enhancement effects are reduced with an increasing number of sides of the inclusions (in terms of regular polygonal cases) while they are amplified with increasing slenderness of the inclusions (in terms of rectangular and elliptical cases).
