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

In the ship industry, developing thermal insulation materials with exceptional high-temperature resistance, structural stability and light weight is essential. Herein, polyimide (PI) composite aerogels were synthesized. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) introduced cross-linking structures within the aerogel matrix, effectively reducing shrinkage and forming micrometer-scale pores. Furthermore, the rigid cage-like structure of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) generated additional nanoscale pores. This multiscale pore structure enhanced both compressive strength and thermal insulation properties. The PI-CNT-POSS composite aerogel with a 2 wt% CNT content (PI-CP2) demonstrated outstanding overall performance, with compressive strength, modulus and thermal conductivity values of 167.7 KPa, 360.3 Kpa and 40.6 mW/(m·K), respectively, possessing remarkable advantages over the neat PI aerogel. Consequently, this PI composite aerogel can be used as a promising material for heat management in complex environments.
