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

Dispersants can have a substantial impact on the rheological characteristics of coal-water slurry (CWS). Due to their advantages in cost and synthesis, linear dispersants are currently most often employed in the commercial manufacturing of CWS. However, this kind of dispersant gives limited performance because of its weak adsorption and steric hindrance effect on the coal-water interface. This work describes a new linear dispersant (PSAF) with a significant steric hindrance effect that was created by incorporating phenolic groups into its molecular architecture, which gives higher maximum coal content (63.79 wt%) than that (63.11 wt%) from sulfonated acetone-formaldehyde (SAF). The synthesis mechanism was investigated using GPC, FT-IR and NMR. Various technologies were used to explore the rheological characteristics and dispersion mechanism for CWS prepared with PSAF. PSAF as well as SAF showed monolayer adsorption on the surface of coal and displayed a higher adsorption layer thickness (3.5 nm). PSAF dispersant presents stand-up adsorption rather than lie-down adsorption of SAF because of its strong π-π action, resulting in a stronger steric hindrance effect and improved rheological performance. This work can provide guidelines for the development of a high-performance dispersant as well as an understanding of the dispersal process for CWS.
