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

In this paper the impact of three metal diorganophosphates (MtDOPs) coordination polymers: calcium bis(dimethyl phosphate) (CaDMP), zinc bis(dimethyl phosphate) (ZnDMP) and aluminum tris(dimethyl phosphate) (AlDMP) on the flame retardancy and rheological properties of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is discussed in detail. The incorporation of 20 wt% of MtDOPs into PBS improved self-extinguishing properties, since all investigated composites achieved a V-2 rating in the UL-94 test. In the limited oxygen index (LOI) test the best effect was demonstrated by CaDMP, which enhanced the LOI value from 23.6 vol% for neat PBS to 27.3 vol% for PBS/20%CaDMP. We also found that AlDMP effectively suppressed melt-dripping in UL-94 and LOI tests due to a strong increase in complex viscosity and the existence of a relative high apparent yield stress for the PBS/20%AlDMP composite, which we observed in the rheological tests. In the mass loss calorimeter (MLC) test, MtDOPs reduced peak heat release rate (pHRR), total heat evolved (THE) and enhanced char yield (CY). The best result is offered by ZnDMP, in which case pHRR and THE decreased by 57 and 24%, respectively. Based on MLC test results, solid residue characterization as well as evolved gas analysis by means of thermogravimetry coupled with FTIR spectroscopy, the possible flame retardancy mechanism of MtDOPs in PBS was proposed. MtDOPs improve the fire response of PBS acting in the gas phase by liberating trimethyl phosphate (TMP) and in the condensed phase by increasing CY. Formation of a foamed and compact char acting as a barrier for heat and mass transport was also observed during combustion of a ZnDMP-containing composite.
