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

Flexible anti-collision airbags are lightweight and highly deformable and are used for mitigating vessel-bridge collision loads, while reliable analysis requires accurate descriptions of the mechanical behaviour of the airbag materials. A three-layer single-chamber airbag comprising an inner thermoplastic polyurethane fabric (TPU) and two outer woven ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforcing layers stitched locally by polyamide webbings is investigated. Uniaxial tensile tests are conducted on TPU and UHMWPE in the warp and weft directions, and anisotropic hyperelastic models are established. Based on model comparison and parameter identification, a three-parameter Yeoh base with a weak orthotropic correction is adopted for TPU, while a neo-Hookean base with a strong orthotropic correction is used for UHMWPE. Comparisons of the numerical and experimental results yield R
