1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Phase-separated polymer blend composite films exhibiting high thermal diffusivity were prepared by blending a soluble polyimide (BPADA-MPD) and a bismaleimide (BMI) with needle-shaped zinc oxide (n-ZnO) particles followed by high-temperature curing at 250 °C. Images recorded with a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) equipped with wavelength-dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) demonstrated that the spontaneously separated phases in the composite films were aligned along the out-of-plane direction, and the n-ZnO particles were selectively incorporated into the BMI phase. The out-of-plane thermal diffusivity of the composite films was significantly higher than those of the previously reported composite films at lower filler contents. Based on wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns and image analysis, the enhanced thermal diffusivity was attributed to the confinement of the anisotropically shaped particles and their nearly isotropic orientation in one phase of the composite films.
