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

Guar gum (GG) is a classic polysaccharide gel former in drilling fluids, but its native network is hindered by high water-insoluble residue, modest yield-point (YP) build-up and poor tolerance to temperature ≥ 120 °C and salinity ≥ 12 wt% NaCl. Here we transformed GG into a sulfonated guar gum (SGG) hydrogel via alkaline etherification with sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-propane sulfonate. FTIR, EA and TGA corroborate the grafting of -SO
