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

Transparent PDLLA/silica hybrid films were prepared via a sol-gel process using organosilane-terminated PDLLA, and two structural motifs-graft-type and 3D-network hybrids-were systematically compared. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed that silica incorporation significantly restricted polymer chain mobility, increasing the onset temperature of the storage modulus from 33.9 °C for neat PDLLA to 41.5 °C and 50.3 °C for the 15 and 20 wt% graft-type hybrids, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed silica contents of 8.8-18.5 wt% and showed that the 10% weight-loss temperature increased by ~60 °C relative to neat PDLLA, with improvements primarily governed by silica content rather than hybrid topology. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) demonstrated uniform nanoscale dispersion with inter-domain distances of ~60-65 nm and no domain coarsening; combining these distances with the PDLLA end-to-end distance (R
