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 research investigates the systematic nanomechanical behavior of tetragraphene-based nanotubes (TGCNTs) using classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulations performed via the LAMMPS package with the reactive AIREBO-Morse potential. Tetragraphene is a novel carbon allotrope characterized by a unique mixture of sp2 and sp3 hybridization. We analyzed the nanomechanical properties of zigzag-like TGCNTs under uniaxial tensile loading, systematically examining the effects of chirality, diameter, length, and temperature ranging from 300 K to 2100 K, while maintaining a constant nanotube length. Our results reveal a distinct nanostructural degradation at high temperatures, where the nanotubes completely lose their structural stability above 1500 K. Under mechanical strain, the stress-strain curves highlight a strong dependence on chirality. The (0,n) TGCNTs exhibit brittle behavior, characterized by a short, nearly linear curve that terminates abruptly at a rapid fracture point without significant plastic deformation. In contrast, the (n,0) TGCNTs demonstrate remarkable ductility and irreversible plastic deformation flow. This is evidenced by a distinct plateau effect with constant stress up to 20% strain, followed by ultimate fracture at a strain over 40%, indicating a stress-induced structural phase transition. To map their transverse elasticity, Poisson's ratio (ν) was evaluated within the elastic regime, revealing an ultra-low value of ν=0.07 for the TGCNT (0,10) in close agreement with density functional theory (DFT) benchmarks, contrasting with an anomalously high value of ν=1.19 for the TGCNT (14,0) due to severe chiral anisotropy. The calculated Young modulus values range from 2379.90 to 3499.20 GPa.Å for (n,0) TGCNTs and 1886.70 to 2374.40 GPa.Å for (0,n) TGCNTs. These insights into the nanostructure-property relationships of TGCNTs provide essential design guidelines for their application in flexible electronics, nanocomposites, and advanced nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMSs).
