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

Wood flour (WF)-reinforced poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) composites were successfully fabricated by injection-molding process after being mixed using an extruder. The effects of fiber modifications, including mercerization, acetylation, as well as coupling agent treatment on the properties of WF/PBAT composites, were studied. The results indicated that all the modifications increased the mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, elongation at break, and Charpy impact strength) of the composites. After modification, all the composites showed better interfacial bonding, hydrophobicity, and thermal properties compared to the untreated fiber composites; meanwhile, the moisture absorption test showed that all the modified fiber composites exhibited a much lower saturated water absorption rate than untreated ones. WF modification by addition of a coupling agent could improve the properties most obviously, except for the tensile strength, elongation at break, and saturated water absorption rate. By this modification, the tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, onset temperature during thermal degradation, degree of crystallinity, and water contact angle of the composite were 313.47 MPa, 20.55 MPa, 830.79 MPa, 16.01 kJ/cm
