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
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables demand a high-performance insulation system to ensure the operational reliability. Protrusions located on cable interfaces can cause electric field distortion, resulting in insulation degradation and a reduced lifespan. By using the finite element method, a 3D model was established to explore how protrusions affect the electric field within HVDC cable insulation, considering different sizes and shapes of protrusions, the activation energy of conductivity for insulation materials and the temperature difference across the insulation. The results indicate that under full load conditions, protrusions at the interface between the insulation layer and the semiconductive shielding layer significantly affect the electric field distribution, and the height of the protrusion has a greater impact than the cross-sectional shape and size. By increasing the protrusion height from 50 μm to 300 μm, an increase of electric field distortion rate from 9.78 to 102.04 was observed. Furthermore, the electric field distortion rate near the protrusions exhibits a positive correlation with the activation energy of the insulation material, specifically increasing by 0.72 for every 0.1 eV increment. These findings provide valuable insights for the design and evaluation of HVDC cable insulation.
