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

The use of polyurethane (PU) coatings to produce water-resistant textiles has grown in popularity over the past few decades. However, they lack breathability, which is crucial for comfort in textile clothing. This research presents the development of a breathable and waterproof polyurethane-based protective fabric tailored for outdoor apparel. A key innovation involves the incorporation of a surfactant into the PU coating formulation, which enables the creation of micropores within the coating. These micropores allow for efficient heat and moisture exchange while maintaining excellent water resistance. The resulting fabric exhibits superior performance, characterized by a high contact angle of 110°, excellent resistance to water penetration of 6.4 cm H
