Polytetrafluoroethylene and Aluminum Powder as an Alternative to Copper in Car Brakes Composite Friction Materials.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Brakes are one of the most important systems of every vehicle. They have an undoubted impact on safety. Their effects produce wear products, which in the case of conventional composition of friction materials also means the content of copper in compounds emitted into the atmosphere. Its harmful effect makes it necessary to look for an alternative that will replace its excellent lubricating and thermal properties. This article presents prototype materials in which attempts were made to replace copper with powdered aluminum and polytetrafluoroethylene. Four types of samples were prepared-one group with a conventional composition, and three groups with an alternative composition, in different proportions. Using the previously developed methodology, friction tests were performed. As a result, the values of friction coefficients and abrasive wear rate were determined. The results show that the proposed material is characterized by lower values of the coefficient of friction and a higher value of the abrasive wear rate coefficient.
