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.
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
This study presents the synthesis and characterization of solvent-free, UV-curable waterborne polyurethane-acrylate (WPUA) coatings using a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (sIPN) technique, aiming to develop durable, high-performance eco-friendly coatings. The WPUA formulations consisted of a urethane backbone created from polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), combined with urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) to introduce acrylate functionality. The synthesized coatings were thoroughly analyzed to assess their morphology, thermal stability, spectroscopic characteristics, water absorption, adhesion strength, and mechanical properties. The design of experiments (DoE) approach was applied to optimize film characteristics, particularly tensile strength. Mechanical testing revealed that incorporating UDMA into the WPUA matrix significantly improved tensile strength, increasing from 4.1 MPa to 8.8 MPa in the optimized formulation. The increase in the cross-cut adhesion test rating from 3B to 5B demonstrates that UV curing significantly enhanced adhesion. Furthermore, the addition of UDMA increased hydrophobicity, reducing water absorption and raising the water contact angle from 67° to 83°.These results indicate that the UV-cured WPUA films possess superior mechanical properties, thermal stability, and water resistance, making them viable options for sustainable coating applications.
