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 study investigated the quasi-static properties, fatigue behavior, and surface and fracture morphologies of pultruded glass/epoxy composites subjected to 24 months of natural outdoor exposure in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Suihua, China. Quasi-static tests were performed at scheduled exposure intervals, whereas fatigue tests on exposed specimens were conducted after 24 months. The quasi-static moduli and strengths fluctuated without consistent monotonic degradation. At both selected tensile stress levels, all exposed groups exhibited lower mean tension-tension fatigue lives than the unexposed reference, with the Guangzhou specimens showing the lowest means. Compression-compression fatigue exhibited greater scatter and no uniform reduction across the exposure groups. SEM observations revealed surface resin loss, fiber exposure, and local fiber-matrix separation, with more pronounced surface changes in the examined Guangzhou specimens. These observations suggest that local matrix and interfacial damage may contribute to the reduced fatigue resistance. Under the investigated conditions, tension-tension fatigue life showed a more pronounced response to 24-month natural exposure than the measured quasi-static properties, supporting its use as a complementary indicator in integrity assessment of pultruded GFRP composites.
