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 shielding effectiveness (SE) against the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of polyvinyl alcohol/multiwall carbon nanotubes (PVA/MWCNTs) composite nanofibers is characteristic of higher absorptivity of the radiation that enhances with the increasing concentration of MWCNTs content in these composites. However, by enriching the content of conductive fillers (MWCNTs), the conductivity of the composites is also stirred up. Concomitantly, the conductivity of these composites contributes toward the reflectivity of the EM radiation from them. Certain applications of the EMI shielding material require a lower level of reflectivity of the EM radiation. This study intends to see how SE of the PVA/MWCNTs composite nanofibers is affected vis-a-vis their conductivity for S-band radiation. Samples of nanofibers, with (5, 10, 15, and 20) wt % of MWCNTs loading in 10 wt % of PVA solution, were prepared through electrospinning and studied for their electrical conductivity and EMI SE. It is observed that by increasing the content of MWCNTs in PVA solution from 5 to 20 wt % the conductivity of the composites tends to increase from 21 to 866 times that of PVA, while the SE increases from 10 db to 25 db over the S-band range of frequencies.
