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

Sustainable ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomers are gaining traction as eco-friendly sealing materials in fuel cell applications. This study evaluates the mechanical degradation behavior of two ECO EPDM formulations-one reinforced with circular carbon black (CCB EPDM), and the other with recycled carbon black (RCB EPDM)-under conditions representative of acidic fuel cell environments. The samples underwent thermal aging at 90 °C for 1000 h, and were immersed in aqueous H
