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

Polymer-metal-organic framework (polymer-MOF) composites have garnered significant interest as polymers can enhance the processability and industrial applicability of MOFs. Thin films of these composites are particularly attractive for applications in sensing, separations, and flexible electronics. Solution shearing, a meniscus-guided coating technique, has emerged as a scalable process for fabricating thin films of MOFs, and can produce large-area films within minutes. In this study, we utilized solution shearing to fabricate composite thin films of a MOF UiO-66 and a piezoelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)), investigating how polymer concentration during MOF synthesis and composite formation influences thin film properties, including crystallinity, surface coverage, and piezoelectric performance. Additionally, solid-state NMR spectroscopy was utilized to probe the interactions between P(VDF-TrFE) and UiO-66 in the composite. Evidence from solid-state NMR indicated polymer-MOF interactions, suggesting that the polymer strands are in close proximity to the UiO-66 pores, supporting a mixed surface coating and pore infiltration model. Furthermore, incorporating P(VDF-TrFE) enhanced the film's areal coverage from 70% to 100%. While the thermal conductivity remained essentially unchanged, the composite film showed an improved piezoelectric effect. The composite with 91 wt % P(VDF-TrFE) exhibited the highest output voltage of 9.1 V and a sensitivity of 0.26 V/N under applied pressure. This work demonstrates the potential of solution shearing as a scalable technique for fabricating polymer-MOF composite thin films.
