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

This study investigates the impact of ozone exposure on the hardness of synthetic rubber specimens (a blend of NR (natural rubber) and CR (chloroprene rubber)) through accelerated aging tests. Using a linear regression model, the research predicts the lifespan of rubber under real-world conditions and demonstrates how established experimental methods can yield novel insights when applied to synthetic rubber. The results show that ozone exposure significantly increases hardness within the first 10 days, stabilizing after day 12. Through analysis, this study calculates acceleration factors based on ozone concentration and temperature, estimating the practical lifespan of synthetic rubber under actual conditions to be approximately 25.76 years. These findings provide valuable indicators for evaluating the durability of synthetic rubber materials and predicting the longevity of rubber products in industrial applications. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the potential for improving lifespan prediction accuracy by incorporating non-linear models or machine learning approaches.
