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

The tribological performance of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites is essential for applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. This study investigates the effect of fiber weight fraction ratio (wf.) (50%, 65%, and 70%), applied load, and sliding speed on the tribological behavior of twill-woven GFRP using a pin-on-disc tribometer. Experimental trials were carried out to assess the impact of control factors on the coefficient of friction, specific wear rate, and contact temperature. Statistical analyses based on generalized linear models (GLM) method or multi-factor ANOVA, identified the most significant factors and their contributions. Results indicate that sliding speed contributes the highest to COF (46.51%), while fiber wf. primarily influences wear rate (34.15%). The applied load was found to have the strongest impact on contact temperature (39.08%). Furthermore, SEM and EDS analyses reveal dominant wear mechanisms, including abrasive wear and transfer layer formation. This study introduces the novelty of using statistical modeling to optimize GFRP for high-performance tribological applications, providing a more precise and efficient approach to enhancing their properties.
