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

Effective regulation reagents are essential in low-rank coal flotation for improving the floatability of ultrafine particles. Polymer regulators have great potential in the surface modification of ultrafine coal particles. A novel nonionic polymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), is evaluated in this study to determine its effectiveness as a regulator in floating ultrafine low-rank coal. Laser particle size analysis is used to discern both the size distribution of coal particles and the change in size distribution. Contact angle tests are carried out to evaluate the wettability of low-rank coal. Surface functional groups of low-rank coal are analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the surface interaction energy is tested by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show effective adsorption of PVP and demonstrate the effects of PVP at the coal surface. The adsorption of PVP changes the proportion of exposed carbon and oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of low-rank coal, regulating the size distribution of low-rank coal particles in suspension. The success of polyvinylpyrrolidone as a regulator in low-rank coal flotation is demonstrated, and the mechanisms by which PVP can affect ultrafine low-rank coal flotation are elucidated.
