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

The work presented here describes an approach that separates the viscous stress from the quasi-static counterpart for polycarbonate (PC) and its short glass fiber composite (GF-PC), with the aim to characterize the influence of short glass fiber on the viscous behavior of PC as the matrix of GF-PC. A multi-relaxation (MR) test was used for the mechanical testing and a three-branch spring-dashpot model for the data analysis, using a genetic algorithm to establish 100 sets of fitting parameter values that enabled the three-branch model to regenerate the measured stress decay during relaxation. Using the spring modulus Kv,s of the short-term branch in the three-branch model, two groups for these fitting parameter values were established as a function of specimen displacement (named stroke) of GF-PC, one of which shows a trend that is similar to the trend of the corresponding fitting parameters for the pure PC, and thus is believed to reflect the influence of glass fiber on the PC matrix of GF-PC. The study concludes that the short glass fiber increases the short-term viscous stress, but its role on the long-term viscous stress is marginal.
