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

Highly electrically conductive polymer composites are fundamental materials for today's electronic engineering. However, these composites are very expensive since heavy loading of costly conductive particles (fillers) is required to guarantee high electrical conductivity. This work successfully reports that weak electromagnetic waves (EMWs) could cohere the microparticles to optimize conductive networks for highly conductive polymer composites. Such an EMW strategy arises from the earliest EMW detector (coherer) invented by Marconi and Popov in 1895 via the breakdown of surface oxides and cohering of the micro-conductors by EMWs. The flexible composite (metal microfiber-polymer) shows a unique insulator-conductor transition with drastic resistance change (50 MΩ to 1 kΩ) under weak EMWs (power: 10
