Thermoplastic Pultrusion Process of Polypropylene/Glass Tapes.
Article in Polymers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 present work focuses on the pultrusion of pre-impregnated glass-reinforced polypropylene tapes. An appositely designed laboratory-scale pultrusion line, consisting of a heating/forming die and a cooling die, was used. The temperature of the advancing materials and the pulling force resistance were measured by using thermocouples embedded in the pre-preg tapes and a load cell. From the analysis of the experimental outcomes, we gained insight into the nature of the material-machinery interaction and the transitions of the polypropylene matrix. The cross-section of the pultruded part was analyzed by microscope observation to evaluate the distribution of the reinforcement inside the profile and the presence of internal defects. Three-point bending and tensile testing were conducted to assess the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic composite. The pultruded product showed good quality, with an average fiber volume fraction of 23% and a limited presence of internal defects. A non-homogenous distribution of fibers in the cross-section of the profile was observed, probably due to the low number of tapes used in the present experimentation and their limited compaction. A tensile modulus and a flexural modulus of 21.5 GPa and 15.0 GPa, respectively, were measured.
