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 paper presents a study of the thermal and rheological properties of isosorbide, showing that its degradation temperature (around 100 °C) is much lower than values previously proposed in the literature. Furthermore, remarkable calorimetric and viscoelastic behaviors, with features usually observed in semi-crystalline systems are presented. The onset of the melting is measured at 45 °C, while a glass transition occurs at -45 °C, followed by cold crystallization. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction confirmed the coexistence of crystalline domains and an amorphous fraction, which behaves as a molecular glass, with an estimated crystallinity of approximately 70%. Thermogravimetric analyses conducted under both air and nitrogen and at multiple heating rates, in line with ICTAC recommendations, established the robustness of the 100 °C degradation onset. These findings provide new structure-property relationships for isosorbide and open up new avenues for further research and development in this area.
