Crystallization of Polycaprolactone within Nanopapers Based on Graphene-Related Materials.
Article in Macromolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
The crystallization of polymers in nanopapers based on graphene-related materials (GRMs) influences both elastic deformability and heat transfer within the nanostructure. Polycaprolactone (PCL) crystallizes in nanopapers, producing different crystalline fractions. We relate their formation to the interactions between polymer chains and the surface of GRM. In addition to conventional PCL crystals, we observe higher melting point crystals that result from strong heterogeneous nucleation, as well as crystals that melt above PCL's equilibrium melting temperature, seemingly linked to the prewetting of crystalline layers. The relative intensity of various melting peaks depends on the structural features and defects of GRM and the nanopaper preparation process. The molecular weight of PCL affects the thermal stability of crystals that melt above PCL's equilibrium melting temperature. Notably, these high-stability crystals cannot be thermally fractionated by successive self-nucleation and annealing (SSA), nor can they be dissolved in a conventional solvent for PCL, indicating a particularly strong interaction between PCL and GRM in nanopapers, which might be utilized in other hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructures.
