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

Thermosets present significant recycling challenges due to irreversible chemical crosslinking, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution. This paper introduces a new strategy for designing thermosets with excellent recycling properties driven by Bio-Tailoring technology, achieving amazing green sustainable development. These thermosets are a class of infusible and insoluble polymers owing to chemical crosslinking. The indole groups in the cross-linked network can be accurately identified and tailored by microorganisms, giving rise to the cross-linked network being tailored into new linear polymers and small molecule segments, named the Bio-Tailoring technology. Linear polymers can be used as a new plastic packaging material that involves high transparency and appreciable mechanical properties. Meanwhile, the cross-linked small molecule moiety is a fluorescent functional unit with a unique push-pull electronic structure that leads to color-changing under external stimulation and can be applied to anti-counterfeiting. Overall, this strategy provides an innovative solution for the sustainable recycling of thermosets and opens a new path for the environmental transformation of the plastics industry.
