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

A sol/gel curing method is used in this work to synthesize hybrid partially bio-based polyhydroxyurethanes (PHUs) from dicarbonates derived from glycerol and various diamines. The method consists of end-capping the PHU prepolymers with moisture-sensitive groups, so sealants and adhesives can be produced from partially sustainable hybrid PHUs (HPHUs), similar to their preparation from end-capped conventional polyurethanes. Diglycerol dicarbonate (DGC) is synthesized and polymerized with different diamines of various chain lengths, and the resulting structural and thermal properties of the PHUs are qualitatively and quantitively characterized. This characterization led to two potential candidates: PHU 4, made of DGC and a poly(propylene glycol) diamine, and PHU 10, prepared from DGC and a poly(dimethylsiloxane) diamine. These polymers, with respective relative number-average molecular weights of 3200 and 7400 g/mol, are end-capped and left to cure under ambient lab conditions (22 °C and 40-50% humidity), and the curing processes are monitored rheologically. Notably, moisture curing does not require any catalyst. The chemical stability of the resulting hybrid PHUs (HPHUs) 4 and 10 in pure water is investigated to check the viability of applying them under outdoor conditions. Only HPHU 10 is found to be resistant to water and shows hydrophobicity with a contact angle of 109°. Tensile tests are conducted on HPHU 10 samples cured under lab conditions for a week and others cured for another week while being immersed in water. The mechanical properties, tensile strength and elongation at break, improve with the samples cured in water, indicating the high-water repellency of HPHU 10.
