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

With a focus on extending the horizons of combining electronic waste (e-waste) with different materials for creating efficient, affordable, eco-friendly, and sustainable radiation shielding composites, the present study investigates the radiation shielding performance of different composites made of silicon rubber and e-waste glass. Six samples were prepared by mixing different amounts of powdered cathode ray tube (CRT) glass (0-50%) with silicon rubber (100-50%). The linear attenuation coefficients (LAC's) of the prepared samples were experimentally measured using a high-purity germanium detector and varying energy gamma sources. Other radiation shielding parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), transmission factor (TF), mean free path (MFP), half value layer (HVL) and radiation attenuation ratio (RAR) were calculated. The sample with the highest CRT content (SR-CRT-50) showed the highest efficiency superior to the rest of the prepared samples with maximum LAC (2.051 cm
