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

In this work, epoxy composites filled with flake graphite of various size (less than 10 μm and less than 45 μm) were produced. The aim of the research was to develop a self-lubricating material with favorable tribological properties, i.e., reduced friction coefficient compared to unfilled epoxy resin and limited abrasive wear. The research material was produced using technical epoxy resins based on bisphenol A. The detailed process of composite production was described, and typical technological problems were considered. The addition of graphite led to an increase in dynamic viscosity, which positively limits the phenomenon of sedimentation, but an increase in the filler content also led to an increase in the porosity of the material. A series of tests have shown that the addition of graphite above 5% by weight allows for a reduction in the friction coefficient from 0.6 to 0.4 and significantly reduces the material's tendency to abrasive wear.
