SiC coated, CNT nanowire reinforced copper composite: preparation, microstructure and properties.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Copper matrix composites are engineering materials widely used in electrical and electronic applications. Therefore, enhancing their mechanical, electrical and thermal properties is essential. In this work, some results on the preparation of silicon carbide coated carbon nanotube nanowire (SiC@CNT NWs) reinforced copper (Cu) matrix composites were presented. SiC@CNT NWs prepared using a chemical vapor deposition method were mixed with Cu powder and then consolidated by spark plasma sintering to obtain SiC@CNTNW/Cu composites. The effects of SiC@CNT NW content on the microstructure, mechanical properties, tribological behavior, electrical and thermal properties were examined. Incorporation of 3 vol% SiC@CNT NWs enhanced hardness and ultimate tensile strength by 71% and 64%, respectively, while reducing the coefficient of friction (COF) by 40% and specific wear rate by 53%. These improvements are attributed to the SiC@CNT structure, which offers superior reinforcement efficiency. The coefficient of thermal expansion decreased with increasing nanowire fraction, consistent with the inherently lower CTE of SiC@CNT NWs. Based on Turner's model, the CTE and Young's modulus of the nanowires were estimated at 1.8 × 10
