A Microvascular System Self-Healing Approach on Polymeric Composite Materials.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The paper addresses the synthesis of a nano-fibre network by coaxial electrospinning, embedding the healing agent dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibres. Compared to other encapsulation methods, the use of nano-fibres filled with healing agent have no effect on the mechanical properties of the matrix and can address a larger healing area. Additionally, carbon nanotubes were added as nanofillers to enhance the reactivity between DCPD and the epoxydic matrix. The self-healing capability of the nano-fibre network was carried out by flexural tests, at epoxy resin level and composite level. Results obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the successful encapsulation of DCPD healing agent in PAN fibres. Flexural tests indicate that after 48 h, the epoxy resin has recovered 84% of its flexural strength while the composite material recovered 93%.
