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

We investigate the adhesion mechanism between an elastic strip of vinylpolysiloxane bent in a racquet-like shape, and a thick elastomeric substrate with the aim to understand how local swelling modifies adhesion. Using a modified loop-tack adhesion test, we place a droplet of silicone oil in between the two materials, vary the dwell time and measure the force required to separate the two interfaces. The experiments are then compared with an analytical model that describes how the critical peel force is modified as the interfacial surface energy changes over time. Our study reveals that in certain circumstances swelling can enhance adhesion. More specifically, strong adhesion is obtained when most of the droplet is absorbed by the solid. By contrast, when the droplet remains at the interface a small adhesive force is measured.
