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

The interactions between cellulose nanocrystals and six different polymers (three anionic, two non-ionic, and one cationic) were investigated using rheological measurements of aqueous solutions of nanocrystals and polymers. The experimental viscosity data could be described adequately by a power-law model. The variations in power-law parameters (consistency index and flow behavior index) with concentrations of nanocrystals and polymers were determined for different combinations of nanocrystals and polymers. The interactions between nanocrystals and the following polymers: anionic sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and non-ionic guar gum, were found to be strong in that the consistency index increased substantially with the addition of nanocrystals to polymer solutions. The interaction between nanocrystals and non-ionic polymer polyethylene oxide was moderate. Depending on the concentrations of nanocrystals and polymer, the consistency index both increased and decreased upon the addition of nanocrystals to polymer solution. The interactions between nanocrystals and the following polymers: anionic xanthan gum, anionic polyacrylamide, and cationic quaternary ammonium salt of hydroxyethyl cellulose, were found to be weak. The changes in rheological properties with nanocrystal addition to these polymer solutions were found to be small or negligible.
