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
To address the broadband noise distribution, complex excitation sources, and insufficient low-frequency attenuation of conventional porous acoustic packages in commercial vehicle cabs, this study proposes a PU-six-cavity Helmholtz metamaterial composite acoustic package for broadband noise reduction. The proposed structure consists of a 30 mm PU porous layer for mid-to-high-frequency dissipation and a 30 mm six-cavity Helmholtz metamaterial layer for low-frequency absorption, forming a 60 mm composite acoustic package. A full-vehicle acoustic model of a commercial vehicle cab was established in VA One to identify the A-weighted sound pressure level (SPL) spectrum at the driver position. The results show that the PU porous acoustic package improves the mid- and high-frequency noise response, whereas pronounced peaks remain in the low- and low-to-mid-frequency ranges. To enhance these bands, the six sub-cavities of the Helmholtz metamaterial were tuned to 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, and 630 Hz through spatial partitioning and cavity grouping. COMSOL (version 6.1) simulations and particle velocity distributions confirmed the multi-peak absorption mechanism and the selective excitation of the corresponding sub-cavities. The composite structure was further validated through impedance-tube measurements, full-vehicle acoustic simulations, and in-vehicle tests. The VA One simulation shows that the total A-weighted SPL at the driver position decreases from 68.25 dB for the PU porous package to 66.01 dB after introducing the six-cavity Helmholtz metamaterial, corresponding to an additional reduction of 2.24 dB. A preliminary in-vehicle test under a stationary idling condition shows that the total A-weighted SPL near the driver's ear decreases from 55.83 dB(A) to 54.56 dB(A). These results demonstrate that the proposed PU-six-cavity Helmholtz metamaterial composite acoustic package combines broadband porous dissipation with low-frequency resonant absorption, providing a feasible solution for broadband noise control in commercial vehicle cabs.
