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
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) gels create significant obstacles in industrial fiber spinning by forming insoluble networks that compromise solution stability and uniformity. This study investigates the rheological properties of PAN/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions, examining how aging time, moisture content, and polymer concentration affect gelation behavior. Dynamic rheological analysis revealed that both physical and chemical crosslinks play crucial roles in gel formation, with gelation accelerating markedly when moisture content exceeds 3% and aging progresses. Under heat treatment at 80 °C, samples with increased moisture content demonstrated rapid transitions to solid-like states, indicating a critical moisture threshold for enhanced gelation kinetics. Additionally, reductions in polymer concentration disrupted physical crosslink density, thereby mitigating gel formation. These results underscore the importance of precisely controlling moisture and concentration parameters in PAN solutions to stabilize solution properties and minimize gel formation, thus enhancing process efficiency and quality in PAN-based carbon fiber production.
