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

Aerogels are highly regarded for their low density and large surface area, attracting significant attention due to their diverse applications. This study explored nitrogen cold plasma's impact on the structure and thermal stability of mucilage-gelatin aerogels (MGA). Aerogels were prepared using marshmallow root mucilage and gelatin in a 1:1 ratio and gelatin-only as a blank under different pH conditions (5 and 7). Rheological and texture analyses identified pH 7 as optimal. Aerogels at pH 7 were then exposed to cold plasma for varying durations (0, 3, and 6 min). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed enhanced thermal stability and structural changes with increased plasma exposure. Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed functional group changes, and contact angle measurements showed that 3 min of plasma treatment increased hydrophilicity (88.37-82.05°), while 6 min enhanced hydrophobicity in 1:1 MGA (93.27°). BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) analyses of the MGA samples revealed changes in surface area (2.9-4.33 m
