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

Mechanically fibrillated cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have attracted special attention as building blocks for the development of advanced materials and composites. A correlation exists between CNF morphology and the properties of the materials they form. However, this correlation is often evaluated indirectly by process-centered approaches or by accessing a single dimensionality of CNFs adsorbed on solid supports. High-resolution imaging is currently the best approach to describe the morphological features of nanocelluloses; nevertheless, adsorption effects need to be accounted for. For instance, possible deformations of the CNFs arising from capillary forces and interactions with the substrate need to be considered in the determination of their cross-sectional dimensions. By considering soft matter imaging and adsorption effects, we provide evidence of the deformation of CNFs upon casting and drying. We determine a substantial flattening associated with the affinity of CNFs with the substrate corresponding to a highly anisotropic cross-sectional geometry (ellipsoidal) in the dried state. Negative-contrast scanning electron microscopy is also introduced as a new method to assess the dimensions of the CNFs. The images obtained by the latter, a faster imaging method, were correlated with those from atomic force microscopy. The cross-sectional area of the CNF is reconstructed by cross-correlating the widths and heights obtained by the two techniques.
