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

In the present work, Pebax-1657, a commercial multiblock copolymer (poly(ether-block-amide)), consisting of 40% rigid amide (PA6) groups and 60% flexible ether (PEO) linkages, was selected as the base polymer for preparing dense flat sheet mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) using the solution casting method. Carbon nanofillers, specifically, raw and treated (plasma and oxidized) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were incorporated into the polymeric matrix in order to improve the gas-separation performance and polymer's structural properties. The developed membranes were characterized by means of SEM and FTIR, and their mechanical properties were also evaluated. Well-established models were employed in order to compare the experimental data with theoretical calculations concerning the tensile properties of MMMs. Most remarkably, the tensile strength of the mixed matrix membrane with oxidized GNPs was enhanced by 55.3% compared to the pure polymeric membrane, and its tensile modulus increased 3.2 times compared to the neat one. In addition, the effect of nanofiller type, structure and amount to real binary CO
