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 study seeks to optimize and evaluate the wear behavior of glass fiber-reinforced epoxy (G-E) nanocomposites incorporating organomodified montmorillonite (oMMT) nanoclay through a rigorous statistical modeling framework. Nanocomposites were prepared with different grades of oMMT (NC-I, NC-II, NC-III, NC-IV) and compared with neat G-E + NC-00 and unmodified NC-V composites. Structural characterization through XRD confirmed enhanced interlayer spacing (up to 5.04 nm for E + NC-III), indicating successful intercalation/exfoliation, while FTIR spectra verified the incorporation of epoxy chains within organoclay galleries. Dry-sliding wear behaviour was evaluated on a pin-on-disc tribometer as per ASTM G99-17 standards, with applied load (8.18-41.82 N), sliding velocity (0.25-2.44 m/s), and sliding distance (318-2177 m) as process variables. Among all tested systems, the G-E + NC-III nanocomposite consistently exhibited the lowest specific wear rate (9.54-40.29 × 10
