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

Photochromic materials have attracted broad interest to enhance the anti-counterfeiting of commercial products. In order to develop anti-counterfeiting mechanically reliable composite materials, it is urgent to improve the engineering process of both the material and matrix. Herein, we report on the development of anti-counterfeiting mechanically reliable nanocomposites composed of rare-earth doped aluminate strontium oxide phosphor (RESA) nanoparticles (NPs) immobilized into the thermoplastic polyurethane-based nanofibrous film successfully fabricated via the simple solution blowing spinning technology. The generated photochromic film exhibits an ultraviolet-stimulated anti-counterfeiting property. Different films of different emissive properties were generated using different total contents of RESA. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to investigate the morphological properties of RESA NPs to display a particle diameter of 3-17 nm. The morphologies, compositions, optical transmittance, and mechanical performance of the produced photochromic nanofibrous films were investigated. Several analytical methods were employed, including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry. The fibrous diameter of RESA-TPU was in the range of 200-250 nm. In order to ensure the development of transparent RESA-TPU film, RESA must be prepared in the nanosized form to allow better dispersion without agglomeration in the TPU matrix. The luminescent RESA-TPU film displayed an absorbance intensity at 367 nm and two emission intensities at 431 and 517 nm. The generated RESA-TPU films showed an enhanced hydrophobicity without negatively influencing their original appearance and mechanical properties. Upon irradiation with ultraviolet light, the transparent nanofibrous films displayed rapid and reversible photochromism to greenish-yellow without fatigue. The produced anti-counterfeiting films demonstrated stretchable, flexible, and translucent properties. As a simple sort of anti-counterfeiting substrates, the current novel photochromic film provides excellent anti-counterfeiting strength at low-cost as an efficient method to develop versatile materials with high mechanical strength to create an excellent market as well as adding economic and social values.
