Design for Robustness: Bio-Inspired Perspectives in Structural Engineering.
Article in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Bio-inspired solutions are widely adopted in different engineering disciplines. However, in structural engineering, these solutions are mainly limited to bio-inspired forms, shapes, and materials. Nature is almost completely neglected as a source of structural design philosophy. This study lists and discusses several bio-inspired solutions classified into two main classes, i.e., compartmentalization and complexity, for structural robustness design. Different examples are provided and mechanisms are categorized and discussed in detail. Some provided ideas are already used in the current structural engineering research and practice, usually without focus on their bio-analogy. These solutions are revisited and scrutinized from a bio-inspired point of view, and new aspects and possible improvements are suggested. Moreover, novel bio-inspired concepts including delayed compartmentalization, active compartmentalization, compartmentalization in intact parts, and structural complexity are also propounded for structural design under extreme loading conditions.
