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

Solvent processing hampers the reliability and energy density of self-healing binders for energetic materials. We report a solvent-free curing route for a Diels-Alder self-healing furanyl-terminated polybutadiene enabled by a functional external plasticizer, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which acts not only to lower the viscosity of the binder but to disperse the high-melting bismaleimide, thereby driving crosslinked network formation. The 50 wt% DBP-plasticized film healed a pre-cut crack in 5 min at 120 °C and recovered nearly full mechanical properties after 24 h at 60 °C. Based on this binder system, a self-healing solid propellant with 80 wt% solid content was solvent-free cast into a dense and void-free grain that healed surface cracks within 5 min at 120 °C. This solvent-free approach overcomes the limitations of solvent-based processing and offers a viable fabrication route for self-healing energetic materials.
