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

Aerogels are recognized as exceptional thermal insulation materials, but poor mechanical strength and flammability problems hinder their application in high-temperature environments. Thermal management materials that combine high mechanical strength with superior flame retardancy are, therefore, critically important for thermal insulation. Herein, ultra-lightweight aerogels were facilely fabricated using chitosan (CS) and acidified attapulgite (SATP) as the primary components. The optimal composite, CS-SATP30%, exhibited a compressive strength of 633.15 kPa at 80% strain, demonstrating significant improvement in mechanical properties. Structural analysis revealed that the hydroxyl groups and amino groups of CS molecules formed hydrogen bonds with SATP, ensuring excellent interfacial affinity among the constituents. Compared to pure CS aerogel, the total heat release (THR) and peak heat release rate (PHRR) of CS-SATP30% were substantially reduced to 3.83 MJ/m
