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

In this work, the effect of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) as a nanofiller on the corrosion protection of epoxy resin coatings was examined. To solve problems like poor solvent swelling resistance and micropore formation during the solidification and shrinkage of epoxy resin coatings, NCC was modified with a silane coupling agent. Alkyl chains and active amine groups were grafted onto its surface, improving the dispersibility of NCC in organic solvents and its bonding with epoxy resin. In this study, NCC was modified by hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), and the modified NCC (M-NCC) was added to epoxy resin E-44 through dip-coating and spraying to prepare M-NCC/EP coatings. The experiments showed that more M-NCC significantly enhanced the solvent resistance of the coatings, reducing swelling and peeling in ethyl acetate and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The impedance changes of different M-NCC/EP coatings after hot/cold cycles in 3.5% NaCl solution and air were monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that at 1% and 3% M-NCC doping, the impedance remained high after 60 hot/cold cycles in sodium chloride solution and air, indicating excellent protection for carbon steel. The low thermal expansion coefficient of NCC and its bond with epoxy resin reduced the internal stress during hot/cold cycles. Also, the hydrophobicity of the coating and the filled M-NCC blocked the invasion of corrosive media. This study offers new ideas and methods for making high-performance metal protective coatings and has significant application value.
