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 investigated the influence of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) at 5 and 15 phr on the properties of silica-filled styrene-butadiene /polyisoprene (SBR/NR) rubber blends intended for boot tread production. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy evaluated the performance of the resulting SBR/NR/NBR composites with Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR), which confirmed interactions between the rubber matrix and the silica filler. In addition, changes in thermal and mechanical properties, as well as cross-linking parameters, were systematically examined. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) are used to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structural, thermal, and mechanical behavior of silica-reinforced SBR/NR/NBR composites. The rheological characteristics of the tested composites were examined as a function of the mixture ratio. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed variations in the sample's surface roughness and morphology with varying rubber blend ratios. The findings confirmed that incorporating NBR improves filler dispersion, increases cross-link density, and enhances mechanical properties, including hardness and tensile strength, while also influencing thermal stability and curing behavior. The results suggest the potential of these composites for reliable, efficient sole manufacturing in the footwear industry, where durability, strength, and processability are critical requirements.
