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

The characteristics of rigid, nanoclay-filled, medium-density NEOpolyol-380 polyurethane foams components can be estimated when two conditions are met: (1) the foam blocks are produced in a sealed mould; and (2) the mass of the reacting mixture is kept constant. It was shown that, with an increase in filler concentration, the total mass of the filled polymeric network stays constant, but the total volume reduces; the higher the ratio of density of the exfoliated nanoclay platelets and polymer, the higher the volume reduction of the polymeric network. Experimental data of polyurethane foam block mass were acquired at concentrations η = 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3% and 5% from the mass of a filled reacting mixture. Foam-density dependence in the uniform zone and in the side-sections of the produced blocks on the: (1) mass of the blocks; and (2) the concentration of the filler was analysed. The study demonstrated that the correlation of the specimens' density with the foam block mass is much higher than that of the filler concentration.
