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
The growing demand for sustainable solutions in advanced composite materials has driven interest in reusing carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFRT). This study investigates the rheological, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and electromagnetic properties of polyamide 6 (PA6) composites reinforced with recycled CFRT waste. The composites were prepared by the extrusion process with different ground CFRT contents (10 and 20 wt %). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that the presence of carbon fibers acts as an effective heterogeneous nucleating agent, increasing the crystallization temperature and the degree of crystallinity. Mechanical characterization demonstrated significant improvements, with the elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength increasing by up to 80% and 69%, respectively, while strain at break was reduced due to the restriction of polymer chain mobility and stress concentration around fiber-matrix interfaces. Impact strength improved by 53% at higher ground CFRT contents, driven by energy dissipation mechanisms such as fiber pull-out and crack deflection. Electromagnetic characterization indicated promising shielding effectiveness (SET), reaching up to 16 dB in the X-band, with absorption-related mechanisms presented. The composites exhibit a desirable combination of mechanical performance and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities. These findings underscore the potential of CFRT-reinforced PA6 composites as sustainable, high-performance materials for applications requiring mechanical and electronic requirements.
