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
In-plane shear strength plays a critical structural role of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. However, the lack of reinforcement in the through-thickness direction (i.e., z-direction) makes a CFRP laminate susceptible to catastrophic failure when subjected to shear stresses between the angle plies. Previous studies reported that using interleaves of unaligned nano particles between the plies had negligible in-plane shear strength improvements. This study introduces a novel approach for improving in-plane shear properties through the use of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) z-threaded CFRP (ZT-CFRP), which utilizes electrically aligned CNFs as nano-reinforcement to thread through the gaps between carbon fibers along the z-direction and forms a mechanically interlocked multiscaled fiber reinforcement network. In-plane shear tests were conducted on [45/-45] Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42114-026-01893-6.
