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
This study investigates the substitution of fossil-based isocyanates with bio-based alternatives in polyurethane resin (PU) coatings and polyurethane dispersion (PUD) coatings, focusing on mechanical and thermal performance. The coatings were formulated using bio-based pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) and a range of fossil-based hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) trimers, combined with either a polyester polyol or a polyacrylate polyol. Differential-scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that PDI-based coatings exhibit higher reactivity during crosslinking, resulting in higher glass transition temperatures. Thermogravimetric analysis showed lower thermal stability compared to HDI-based polyurethanes, indicating increased rigidity but reduced thermal resilience. Mechanical testing of the coatings on wood showed superior microhardness, scratch resistance, and wear resistance for PDI-based coatings, particularly when combined with polyester polyols. Microscopic surface evaluation and roughness analysis confirmed smoother morphologies and lower crack densities in PDI-polyester coatings. Gloss and water contact angle measurements further demonstrated improved surface uniformity and hydrophobicity for PDI-based coatings. The FTIR spectroscopy validated the chemical integrity and more intense hydrogen bonding for PDI-based coatings. The post-wear spectra indicated chemical oxidation and surface rearrangements in PDI-based systems and mechanical degradation with chain scission for HDI-based coatings. Overall, the study highlights that bio-based PDI trimers can effectively replace fossil-based HDI trimers in PU and PUD coatings without compromising mechanical performance, especially when paired with polyester polyols. These findings support the development of more sustainable polyurethane coatings with enhanced durability and environmental compatibility.
