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

Magnetic polymer composites have recently attracted considerable interest, primarily because of their promising applications, especially in the biomedical industry. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation as a disinfection method on the mechanical characteristics of composite polymer magnets. Tensile and compression tests were conducted following the standards set by ASTM D3039 and ASTM D3410, respectively. In addition, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the effect of the disinfection method on the amount of carbon, oxygen, and iron within the surface of the composite polymer magnet material. The UVC's irradiation impact was statistically assessed by a
