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
Excessive vibration during human knee joint movement poses challenges to biomechanical performance and comfort, which this study aims to mitigate through the design of a bio-inspired honeycomb-based vibration-damping structure, for the purpose of optimizing dynamic vibration absorption efficiency. Three honeycomb geometries-regular triangle, square, and regular hexagon-were evaluated via dynamic mechanical simulation, identifying the regular hexagon as the most effective base configuration. Using the control variable method within reasonable parameter ranges, finite element analysis was employed to systematically examine the influence of wall thickness, side length, and gradient of the regular hexagonal honeycomb on its damping performance. The findings demonstrate that vibration damping is maximized under a configuration with a wall thickness of 1.8 mm, a side length of 6 mm, and a gradient of 110%.
