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
This study aimed to evaluate the bondability of beech and alder wood modified through styrene polymerization within the wood lumen. Unmodified wood samples served as the reference material. Bondability was tested using four adhesive types commonly used in wood technology: polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF), and epoxy resin. In addition to shear strength measurements, the adhesive density profile was also assessed. Results indicated that styrene modification generally reduced wood bondability, with reductions in shear strength ranging from 8% to 23% for beech wood and 1.6% to 29% for alder wood, depending on the adhesive type. The only exception was observed with the epoxy adhesive, which showed a 13% improvement in bonding quality for modified wood. These findings suggest that while styrene modification may enhance specific properties of wood, it can adversely affect its adhesion performance with some adhesive systems, except epoxy, which displayed improved compatibility with styrene-modified wood. The study offers insights for selecting suitable adhesives when using modified wood in structural applications.
