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

contextHexanitrostilbene (HNS) is an explosive characterized by low mechanical sensitivity, high thermal stability, and excellent physicochemical and radiation resistance. It is widely used in both military and civilian applications. HNS-IV, known for its appropriate impact sensitivity to narrow pulse detonation, is currently the primary filling in shock wave detonators. However, due to the large specific surface area and high surface activity of ultrafine HNS-IV, it exhibits significant static electricity and poor flowability, which adversely affect the accuracy of its mass loading and subsequently density. To address the issues of poor flowability and moldability between ultrafine HNS-IV particles, this study utilized molecular dynamics simulations to select a high-performance, heat-resistant binder. Using this binder and graphite as an antistatic agent, a modified sample of ultrafine HNS-IV was prepared via the solvent evaporation method. The modified and unmodified samples were then subjected to comprehensive tests for morphology and composition, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), repose angle, bulk density, explosion point, and charge amount.

methodsUsing molecular dynamics (MD) methods within the Materials Studio software, we computed the binding energies, initiation bond lengths, and mechanical properties of four types of polymer-bonded explosives (PBX) following a 1 ns NPT dynamic simulation. The MD simulation was conducted over a total duration of 1 ns with a time step of 1 fs. The simulations utilized the COMPASS force field, and the temperature was maintained at 298 K.
