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 limitations of traditional analytical models in characterising multi-core coupling effects and the excessive computational cost of finite element simulations, this paper presents a high-precision analytical model for a novel T-II composite-core eddy current testing (ECT) probe using the Truncated Region Eigenfunction Expansion (TREE) method. The analytical expressions of coil impedance are derived by partitioning the solution domain into ten subdomains under an axisymmetric cylindrical coordinate system, with rigorous satisfaction of electromagnetic continuity at all material interfaces. Numerical cross-validation against 2D and 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations under idealised modelling assumptions across the frequency range of 100 Hz to 10 kHz shows that the proposed TREE model yields relative errors below 2% for both coil resistance and reactance. Notably, the proposed approach requires significantly less computation time than 2D and 3D FEM. Further parametric analysis confirms that the proposed T-II composite-core probe delivers superior electromagnetic performance compared to conventional single-core probes, including intensified subsurface eddy current densities and improved magnetic field redistribution. This work overcomes the inherent limitations of single-core ECT analytical models, establishes a robust theoretical paradigm to interpret the distinctive electromagnetic field advantages of composite-core probes, and provides solid support for the structural optimisation of multi-core ECT sensors.
