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

As electronic systems become increasingly integrated into daily life, the demand for lightweight, effective, and environmentally sustainable materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding continues to grow. In this study, we investigate the EMI shielding performance of hierarchically porous graphitic aerogels (HGAs) synthesized from albumen protein through controlled pyrolysis. These single-component, bio-derived aerogels differ from conventional carbon aerogels by combining ultralow density, hierarchical porosity, and tunable electrical conductivity without templating, chemical activation, surface functionalization, or multistep processing. By varying the carbonization temperature, heating rate, and sample thickness, we demonstrate direct control over the aerogel's microstructure, density, and electrical properties, and consequently, the EMI shielding behavior. The HGA exhibits an outstanding specific shielding effectiveness of over 16 200 dB cm
