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

Advances in modern industry largely depend on the development of high-performance materials. In this study, the influence of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) filler on the performance of glass fiber/epoxy laminates was systematically investigated. Composites containing h-BN with different particle sizes (65-75 nm and 790 nm) and contents (0.2 and 0.4 wt.%) were fabricated, and their mechanical (tensile, in-plane shear, hardness, impact), thermal (Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC), electrical (volume resistivity), and spectroscopic (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR) properties were examined. The results demonstrated that specimens with 65-75 nm h-BN at 0.2 wt.% exhibited the highest tensile and shear strengths, whereas those with 790 nm h-BN at 0.4 wt.% showed superior impact resistance and hardness. DSC analyses revealed that h-BN addition increased the glass transition temperature (Tg), while FTIR confirmed interfacial interactions between h-BN and the epoxy matrix. Electrical measurements indicated that h-BN preserved the insulating nature of the composites, with only limited reductions in resistivity observed at higher contents of larger particles due to morphological effects. Overall, these findings highlight that h-BN filler enhances load transfer efficiency, thermal stability, and mechanical reliability, offering significant potential for applications requiring multifunctional performance, such as aerospace, marine, and electrical and electronic insulation systems.
