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
To meet the requirements of transformer rubber sealing materials for excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability, this study designed nitrile rubber (NBR)/acrylate rubber (ACM) blends with a dual vulcanization system, and systematically investigated the effects of different blend ratios on their comprehensive properties. The vulcanization characteristics, mechanical properties, thermal stability, oil resistance, and low-temperature sealing performance of the blends are significantly dependent on the NBR/ACM ratio. The optimal comprehensive performance is achieved when NBR:ACM = 90:10, which not only retains the good mechanical advantages of NBRtensile strength of 21.15 MPa, elongation at break of 276%, 100% modulus of 6.35 MPa, and initial hardness of 71 Shore Abut also inherits the excellent heat resistance of ACM. After 125 °C × 168 h hot air aging, its hardness increases by 7 Shore A, and the change rate of elongation at break is only 20.2%, which is much lower than the 56% of pure NBR. Studies on the compatibility with transformer oil and low-temperature sealing performance show that after aging in 125 °C transformer oil for 168 h, the blend with this ratio has a volume change rate of 2.8% and a mild increase in compression set, with the smallest impact on transformer oil performanceacid value increases by only 0.03 mg KOH/g and dielectric loss factor by 0.29%, close to the level of pure ACM. After high-temperature hot air aging and oil aging, its low-temperature nitrogen leakage point remains stable at around -20 °C, significantly better than the obvious increase of pure NBR. This ratio of blend can adapt to the complex sealing environment of transformers, and provides a practical solution for the material upgrade of transformer seals by reducing insulation oil pollution, delaying oil degradation, lowering maintenance costs, extending the service life of seals, and avoiding failure risks.
