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 paper is intended to study the fatigue behaviour of low-carbon steel DD11 with the combined effect of pre-strain and notch geometry, which are important in components working under cyclic loading in service. To this end, experimental fatigue tests were performed on specimens with different configurations: (i) specimens pre-strained to 24% (beyond the tensile strength point), (ii) specimens combining pre-strain and notch effects, and (iii) double-notched specimens, which feature a higher stress concentration factor. The experiments were complemented by numerical simulations and analytical formulations, and fracture surfaces were examined to support the interpretation of the results. The main results show that the applied pre-strain (24%) reduces the fatigue limit by 8.5% when compared to the un-notched case. However, when pre-strain and notch effects are combined, no significant additional influence on the fatigue limit is observed. In the double-notched configuration, a higher stress concentration factor is found compared to previous studies by the authors, leading to a reduction in the fatigue limit, with localised plasticisation similar to that observed in the compared scenario.
