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

This study demonstrates the sustainable conversion of agricultural waste into high-performance fluorescent epoxy resins through direct blending of coumaric acid epoxy (CE) and ferulic acid epoxy (FE) derived from corn stover. These bio-based resins exhibit tunable photoluminescence, with emission maxima shifting from 299 nm to 841 nm as FE content increases from 0 to 33 wt%. In contrast, blends based on commercial bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) reach emission saturation around 550 nm and exhibit phase separation at higher FE concentrations, as confirmed by light microscopy. The synthesized CE-FE blends achieve superior or comparable thermomechanical properties, including flexural moduli (3.2-3.4 GPa), glass transition temperatures, and storage moduli, relative to commercial BADGE-based resins. Impact toughness is consistent across all blends except for BADGE containing 33 wt% FE, which decreases significantly from 63 J m
