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

Animal silks have received extensive attention in these years due to their unique mechanical properties. The study of the structure-property relationship of animal silks is not only critical for the understanding of the design secrets of natural materials but also can inspire the engineering material designs. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) has been used to study the secondary structure of animal silk, which is considered to be critical to the mechanical properties of animal silk. However, most of these characterizations are conducted on silk fiber bundles. In this respect, synchrotron FTIR microspectroscopy (S-micro FTIR) has unique advantages in characterizing single animal silks, as S-micro FTIR has significant advantages in ultrahigh brightness and high spatial resolution to characterize samples with small size. Here, we will introduce the methods for using synchrotron FTIR microspectroscopy to analyze the conformation and orientation of single animal silk fibers, which would be an efficient method to elucidate the "structure-property" relationship within animal silks.
