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

Vitrimers combine thermoset-like stability with thermoplastic-like reprocessability. Thiourethane polymers retain the advantages of classical polyurethanes while enabling efficient dynamic covalent bond exchange. We present a library of high-performance, recyclable thiourethane networks with tunable structure-property relationships and excellent shape-memory behavior. To improve recyclability, we introduce two key strategies: (1) covalently bonding the amine catalyst to an isocyanate group, which prevents catalyst leaching and ensures permanent recyclability; and (2) a reprocessing method that blends ground recycled material with uncured resin, followed by curing and compression under heat to restore mechanical and optical properties. Together, these approaches yield seamless, mechanically robust shape-memory polymer networks and support the sustainable design of smart materials with the potential for multiple life cycles and reduced environmental impact.
