Synthesis and Characterization of UV-Curable Resin with High Refractive Index for a Luminance-Enhancing Prism Film.
Article in Polymers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A novel monomer, 9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene di(mercaptopropionate), with a highly refractive index, purity, and excellent UV-curable properties, is synthesized through an optimized Fischer esterification process, reacting 9,9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene with 3-mercaptopropionic acid. The structural characterization of this monomer is performed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The synthesis conditions are optimized using a design-of-experiments approach. UV-curable resins are obtained by incorporating the synthesized monomer as the thiol component. The effects of thiol content on the UV-curing behavior, refractive index, shrinkage, adhesion to the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foil, and viscoelastic recovery are examined. The thermal properties are assessed using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy confirms the successful replication of the prism film. In edge-lit light-emitting diode (LED) backlight units, the prism film showed increased luminance with higher thiol monomer content in the UV-curable resin while maintaining stable color coordinates. This novel highly refractive index monomer can be utilized in luminance-enhancing prism films, thereby contributing to future innovations in the display film industry.
