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

Incorporation of short wood fillers such as wood flour (WF) into polypropylene (PP) often results in a marked reduction of toughness, which is one of the main shortcomings for WF/PP composites. This research reports a facile approach to achieve toughening of WF/PP composites via introducing self-assembling β-nucleating agents into PP matrix. The effect of two kinds of nucleating agents, an aryl amide derivative (TMB5) and a rare earth complex (WBG II), at varying concentrations on the crystallization and mechanical properties of WF/PP composites was comparatively investigated. The results showed that both nucleating agents were highly effective in inducing β-crystal for WF/PP, with β-crystal content (k
