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

We investigated the high-temperature tensile and creep properties of highly strong heat-elongated polypropylene (elongated PP) before and after long annealing for 21 days at a high temperature of 120 °C. Despite the thermal deterioration caused by the long annealing, the elongated PP exhibited high tensile strength. The yield stress values of the elongated and long-annealed (LA)-elongated PP obtained from engineering stress-strain curves were 60 MPa and 102 MPa, respectively, at 120 °C, whereas that of the unelongated PP was 8 MPa. Due to the suppression of crystalline chain motion at high temperature caused by the presence of crystalline fibrils connected to lamellae, as indicated by the high elastic modulus observed using a dynamic mechanical analyzer, the elongated PP also exhibited excellent high-temperature creep properties despite thermal deterioration. Small-angle X-ray scattering and DSC measurements revealed that lamellae were fragmented in the elongated PP, while the fragmentation of lamellae was suppressed in the LA-elongated PP during tensile stretching and creep. These characteristic deformation behaviors might also provide excellent high-temperature properties. The excellent high-temperature properties of the elongated PP are promising for industrial applications that require resistance to high temperatures.
