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 efficient dissipation of heat has emerged as a crucial concern for modern electronic devices, given the continuous increase in their power density and consumption. Thus, the utilization of thermally conductive but electrically insulating silicone rubber composites as a thermal interface material has garnered significant interest. In this study, the effects of the filler volume fraction, filler orientation, layer volume fractions, layer configuration, and a number of layers on the thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of silicone rubber composites were examined using a multiscale finite element modeling strategy. The results demonstrated that modification of the filler orientation can change the thermal conductivity by 28 and 21 times in the in-plane and through-thickness directions, respectively. The in-plane thermal conductivities of silicone rubber/boron nitride and silicone rubber/expanded graphite layers exhibit a percolation phenomenon at filler volume fractions of 35% and 30%, respectively. The electrical resistivity of the composite increases exponentially with a decrease in the number of layers.
