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 process of nucleation and growth of polypropylene foam was observed by using visualizations of the mold-opening foam injection molding (MOFIM) and free foaming (FREEF). The fitting of the mathematical model formula was used to supplement the judgment conditions of the secondary bubbles to explore the generation process and formation conditions of the secondary bubbles. The results of changes in blowing agent content and melt temperature proved the rationality of the judgment basis and the appearance of secondary bubbles started from the late stage of balanced-foaming. Then, the combined action of several nucleation mechanisms led to the emergence of secondary bubbles, which was observed utilizing glass fibers as nucleating agents and tracers. The data for the two foaming modes indicated that the formation of secondary bubbles is closely related to temperature and pressure drop. The bubble nucleation model was amended and validated by regulating the temperature variation in the mold cavity to control the number of secondary bubbles, which enabled the nucleation process of secondary bubbles to be fitted to an "S-shaped" curve. Finally, a controllable number of secondary bubbles was obtained from the bimodal bubble structure. Herein, this study enriches our understanding of the formation process of secondary bubbles, and provides theoretical guidance for fabricating high density, small size foam materials.
