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

A contemporaneous functionalization of leathers and valorization of metal-free tannery waste was performed by reducing the waste into fine powders through mechanical grinding. The morphology of the milled wastes constited of fibers with diameters of a few microns (1-3 μm) and below. XRD analysis of leather powders confirms that even after the milling treatment, the leathers maintain retains its helical structure. The fibers were added to a finishing ink, and the resulting materials were characterized from different perspectives. The fibers containing finishing allows for better surface preservation, due to well-dispersed nanofibers filling the micropores of the coating, thus reducing the density of defects in the coating itself and improving the rubbing fastness. It should be noted that the presence of milled leather can impart color to the finished leather without requiring additional dyes. This approach results in cost-saving, and, more importantly, has positive environmental and ethical impacts.
