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

Up-recycling waste wood as a source for producing materials is crucial for sustainability. Here, we discovered that in situ thermal curing of melamine-formaldehyde resin (MF) with natural wood enhanced its room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) performance. This enhancement is due to the interaction of MF with the components in wood during the in situ thermal curing process, both covalently and non-covalently, promoting RTP emission of holocellulose and lignin in natural wood. With this discovery, we converted waste wood into RTP materials (R-wood@MF) with a lifetime of 332.5 ms at 530 nm via thermal curing of MF in the presence of recycled wood sources. Moreover, due to the robust interaction between MF and wood, the obtained R-wood@MF exhibited water- and organic solvent-tolerant green RTP emission. As a demonstration of the application, R-wood@MF was employed as an anti-counterfeiting glue and multifunctional optical films.
