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

Nanostructured products synthesized using electric arc vapor plasma with various alcohol solutions exhibiting very high enthalpy and low mass flow rates in a direct current discharge in direct contact with a vapor vortex surrounding the arc column were studied. The nanostructured products obtained in our experiments with various alcohol solutions (ethanol, propanol, and benzene) were analyzed using modern nanostructure identification methods. The diameters of the synthesized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) ranged from 9 to 35 nm, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from 2 to 4 nm, and graphene flakes from 1 to 7 sheets, depending on the alcohol solution composition. Fullerene-like structures identified by HRTEM were obtained from a benzene mixture using electric arc vapor plasma synthesis. It is shown that the thermal steam plasma process with various alcohol solutions has great potential for the synthesis of nanotubes and graphene flakes due to the continuous and easy-to-implement method, cheap raw materials and adjustable carbon content due to the combination of different mixture compositions.
