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 aim of this work is to compare the effects of chemical and photochemical functionalization on the mechanical properties of PET fabric and its adhesion to nitrile rubber (NBR). The photochemical functionalization was performed by UV irradiation of PET fabric in the presence of glutaric acid peroxide at a temperature of 60 °C for different exposure times (i.e. 60, 90 and 120 min). The chemical functionalization (i.e. hydrolysis) of PET fabrics was performed by NaOH solution at a temperature of 60 °C for different times (i.e. 60, 120, 240 and 360 min). The tensile properties of the functionalized fibers were also evaluated. The functionalized PETs were evaluated for H-pull and T-peel adhesion to NBR. It was found that both treatment methods created functional groups on the PET surface. However, carboxylation of PET under GAP/UV irradiation generated much more OH groups on the PET surface (i.e. 4.5 times). The hydrolysis of PET in NaOH solution for more than 60 min caused a significant decrement in the tensile strength contrary to carboxylation under GAP/UV irradiation. It was also found that pullout and T-peel adhesions to NBR decreased in the case of hydrolysis of PET while they increased about 33 and 12% for GAP/UV irradiated PET, respectively.
