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

In the current study we show that the combustion of sol-gel derived alcogels with specifically tailored composition leads to the release of silica nanoparticles from the burning alcogel in a controlled manner which enables direct deposition of the released nanoparticles into low-density silica thick films. The process has some similarities to flame spray pyrolysis but requires no aerosol generator or other sophisticated instrumental setup. By the proper choice of catalysts and mixture of silicon alkoxides for the synthesis of the alcogel, preferential hydrolysis and polycondensation of one of the alkoxides is achieved. This leads to the formation of an alcogel with volatile silica precursor trapped in the gel pores. Resulting alcogels were burned to deposit uniform porous silica films with density of ~0.1 g/cm
