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

Plastic waste is one of the largest contributors to landfill waste globally, with the healthcare industry contributing a large proportion of this. Recycling has been established as a key point of focus to reduce this waste, as addressed in The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To this end, this work demonstrates the upcycling of hospital lab waste poly-(propylene) (PP) into a new conductive filament for additive manufacturing, using a zero solvent methodology and incorporating 30 wt % carbon black as a conductive filler. The filament showed excellent low-temperature flexibility, high conductivity, and a low bulk resistance of 61 ± 7 Ω cm
