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

Multi-scale characterization techniques have been employed to analyze the size effect of microstructure on the phase transition behavior and dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films. The results show that oriented amorphous fraction layers are prone to form in the vicinity of the grain boundaries of nano-grained films, while the interfacial polarization and electrostriction effect play a major role. Polar nano-regions are prone to form in micro-grained films, and the maximum fraction of polar crystalline phase and maximal dielectric constant can be achieved due to the balance between the intrinsic effect and extrinsic effect of the material. On the contrary, the extrinsic effect corresponding to interfacial charges greatly influences the phase transition behavior between beta and alpha phases for coarse-grained PVDF films, while the dielectric properties are mainly influenced by the intrinsic electrostatic field and van der Waal interaction of the material. Hence, the dielectric behavior of nano-grained films can be adjusted by the copolymerization technique, that of micro-grained films can be adjusted by both the copolymerization technique and the controlling of microstructure morphology, and that of coarse-grained films can be adjusted by the doping technique.
