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.
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 evolution from subtractive to modified semi-additive (mSAP) and semi-additive (SAP) processes has heightened the importance of electroless plated (ELP) copper (Cu) peel strength in the printed circuit board industry. This study introduces a wet process for depositing Cu on liquid crystal polymer (LCP) using advanced electroless plating, incorporating a polyethylenimine (PEI) surfactant, a homemade nano-sized palladium (Pd) activator, and a micro-sculpturing treatment. By adjusting PEI immersion time and substrate roughness in the sub-micrometer domain, the peel strength of the ELP Cu film ranges from under 10 gf/cm to over 600 gf/cm. This wide range meets both low peel strength needs of mSAP peelable Cu foil and the high strength required in SAP. Characterization techniques, including atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), water contact angle (WCA) measurements, and fracture analysis, reveal that ELP Cu peel strength is driven by a synergistic effect between molecular interaction and physical anchoring.
