Effect of the Trifunctional Chain Extender on Intrinsic Viscosity, Crystallization Behavior, and Mechanical Properties of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate).
Article in ACS omega, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In this work, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) chain-extending products with different molecular weights were prepared by reactive extrusion using isocyanate trimer (C-HK) as the trifunctional chain extender. The effect of the chain extender C-HK on the intrinsic viscosity, melt flow property, crystallization behavior, crystallization morphology, and mechanical property of PET was investigated. The results showed that when the content of the chain extender was increased from 0.6 to 1.4 wt%, the viscosity average molecular weight of PET was effectively increased from 2.36 × 10
