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

Waste management is fundamental to resource and environmental sustainability. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane (PU) waste plastics were recycled and applied as binder in emulsion paint formulation. The recycled polystyrene (rPS) and polyurethane (rPU) were blended into composite resins, where toluene was used as the solvent. The blends of rPS and rPU were optimized, while some physicochemical properties of the composite blends (rPS/PU) were evaluated. The results showed that the incorporation of rPU into rPS increased the viscosity (1818 mPa-3924 mPa), rate of gelation (dry-to-touch time: 15 min-0.25 min), moisture content (2.7%-8.1%), moisture uptake (3.2%-5.0%), solid content (48%-53.4%) and density (0.82 g/cm
