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.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on various material properties of the polyamide 66 (PA66) nanocomposites. This is achieved first by investigating the effect of CNTs (0.1-5 wt.%) on the material properties of PA66 pellets, and second, on the injection-molded PA66/CNT nanocomposites. Thermal analysis revealed that CNTs do not have a significant effect on the melting behavior and melting temperature of PA66/CNT nanocomposites, but they increase the crystallization temperature of the nanocomposites. Rheological analysis showed that the melt shear viscosity of the PA66 increased with increasing CNT content particularly above 1 wt.%. Additionally, the PA66 nanocomposites exhibit shear-thinning behavior, and this effect is more significant at higher CNT contents. The FT-IR analysis revealed the absence of chemical bonds between PA66 and CNTs and, consequently, the uniform dispersion of CNTs in the PA66 matrix. Mechanical testing indicated that the inclusion of CNTs (0.1 to 5 wt.%) in PA66 matrix could not improve the tensile modulus to a great extent, while it decreased the ultimate tensile strength of PA66 nanocomposites under tension. On the other hand, CNTs positively influenced the mechanical behavior under bending (+15% increase at 5 wt.%). Among the nanocomposites, PA66 filled with 5 wt.% CNTs exhibited the optimal mechanical performance in terms of tensile strength (58 MPa), tensile modulus (2689 MPa), bending modulus (2072 MPa), and bending strength (104 MPa). The experimental results also showcase the significant improvement in the tensile and bending mechanical properties of the injection-molded PA66 nanocomposites after thermal annealing at -40 °C and 180 °C for one hour. This experimental study provides guidelines for the structure-property-processability of the PA66 nanocomposites, revealing the complex relationship between the CNTs and the enhancement of mechanical properties, while highlighting the potential of thermal annealing in improving the mechanical performance of PA66 nanocomposites. This will be further investigated to promote the use of PA66 nanocomposite in industrial applications.
