Improved Yield and Electrical Properties of Poly(Lactic Acid)/Carbon Nanotube Composites by Shear and Anneal.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Shear and thermal processing can greatly influence nanoparticles' orientation and dispersion, affecting the nanocomposites' conductivity and mechanical properties. The synergistic effects of shear flow and Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nucleating ability on the crystallization mechanisms have been proven. In this study, Polylactic acid/Carbon nanotubes (PLA/CNTs) nanocomposites were produced by three different molding methods: compression molding (CM), conventional injection molding (IM), and interval injection molding (IntM). Solid annealing at 80 °C for 4 h and pre-melt annealing at 120 °C for 3 h was applied to research the CNTs' nucleation effect and the crystallized volume exclusion effect on the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. The volume exclusion effect only significantly impacts the oriented CNTs, causing the conductivity along the transverse direction to rise by about seven orders of magnitude. In addition, the tensile modulus of the nanocomposites decreases with the increased crystallinity, while the tensile strength and modulus decrease.
