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

This study presents the effects of surface roughness on the adhesion strength of plasma-treated rubbers that are widely used in soft robotics. The rubbers are designed with 11 molds of different patterns and fabricated from liquid silicones for mutual comparison. Several specimens with nonperiodic and periodic surface waveforms are quantitatively analyzed based on the correlation between surface roughness and adhesion strength. The surface roughness of three-dimensional (3D) printed molds under different printing conditions is compared to that of the standard specimens molded by a smooth acrylic plate and four sandpapers. The surface profiles are measured by a stylus profiler, analyzed using fast Fourier transform, and subsequently quantified using the experimental roughness parameters,
