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

This study investigates the effect of extrusion screw speed and carbon nanotube (CNT) concentration on the thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) properties of Polycarbonate (PC)/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and its polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) by means of design of experiments (DoE) approach. A masterbatch method was employed to obtain the best dispersion of the CNTs throughout the polymer matrix. This study evaluates the thermo-mechanical characterisation of the polymers and PNCs at varying screw speeds to assess filler matrix bonding. The results highlight that CNT concentration has a significant effect on all mechanical properties, while screw speed only affects the Charpy impact strength and flexural properties of the samples. Compounding at 200 rpm has the best flexural and tensile strength, which is attributed to the best filler matrix bonding (highest storage modulus) of the PNCs. The best EMI SE results were obtained at 10 wt.% CNTs. This research contributes valuable insights into the effect of CNT concentration and extrusion screw speed on the mechanical, thermal and EMI SE properties of PC/ABS and its PNCs.
