Effect of Gamma Radiation on the Processability of New and Recycled PA-6 Polymers.
Article in Polymers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 growing quantities of plastic waste have raised environmental concerns, with almost a quarter of disposed plastics being sent to landfill. This has motivated research efforts into various recycling technologies to ease dependence on fossil resources, increasing circularity. Irradiation of various kinds, such as electron beam, beta and gamma rays, has been studied in the past as a way of revamping end-of-life polymer properties. The present work focuses on the effects of gamma radiation on the processability of new and recycled polymers, which is intimately linked with their rheological properties. In this study, both virgin and recycled polymers were irradiated under different radiation doses and the effects of the radiation on their viscosity assessed and compared. Results were analyzed making use of different theoretical relationships, and the causes of the changes in rheology were investigated by means of various characterization techniques, such as GPC, FTIR, EPR and DSC. Finally, the rheological curves of all samples were fitted to the Ostwald-de Waele relationship and the dependence of its parameters on the absorbed dose fitted to a function.
