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

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) has been applied in various fields due to its nano-structure, high aspect ratio, specific surface area and modulus, and abundance of hydroxy groups. In this work, CNC suspensions with different concentrations (0.4, 0.6, and 0.8%) were used as the adjuvant to improve the dispersion ability of multilayer graphene (MLG) in aqueous suspension, which is easy to be aggregated by van der Waals force between layers. In addition, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, ethanol, and ultrapure water were used as control groups. Zeta potential analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the stability of MLG/CNC has met the requirement, and the combination of CNC and MLG was stable in aqueous suspension. Results from transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and absorbance showed that MLG had a better dispersion performance in CNC suspensions, compared to the other solutions. Raman spectrum analysis showed that the mixtures of 1.0 wt% MLG with 0.4% CNC had the least defects and fewer layers of MLG. In addition, it is found that CNC suspension with 0.8% concentration showed the highest ability to disperse 1.0 wt% MLG with the most stable performance in suspension. Overall, this work proved the potential application of CNC as adjuvant in the field of graphene nanomaterials.
