Development of Highly Crystalline Polylactic Acid with β-Crystalline Phase from the Induced Alignment of Electrospun Fibers.
Article in Polymers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the known synthetic polymers with potential piezoelectric activity but this property is directly related to both the crystalline structure and crystalline degree. Depending on the process conditions, PLA can crystallize in three different forms: α-, β-, and γ- form, with β-crystalline phase being the piezoelectric one. To obtain this crystalline structure, transformation of α to β is required. To do so, the strategies followed so far consisted in annealing or/and stretching of previously obtained PLA in the form of films or fibers, that is, additional post-processing steps. In this work, we are able to obtain PLA fibers with high macromolecular alignment, as demonstrated by SEM, and in the β polymorph, as detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) without the requirement of post-processing. For that, PLA fibers were prepared by using an electrospinning coupled to a drum collector. This set up and the optimization of the parameters (voltage flow-rate, and drum collector speed) induced molecular stretching giving rise to uniaxially oriented and highly aligned fibers.
