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

Satellites are exposed to various types of radiation and extreme temperatures in space, which can lead to damage and malfunctioning of critical components. Therefore, the use of an efficient shielding system is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of satellites. In the ever-evolving landscape of space exploration, the demand for resilient and efficient materials to safeguard the delicate internal components of microsatellites has never been more critical. This work investigated the gamma-ray shielding performance, and the physical and mechanical properties of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites embedded with 0-50 wt% tungsten trioxide (WO
