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

Textile production is one of the largest industries on the planet. Global annual fibre production was over 113 million tonnes (Mt) in 2021 and is predicted to increase to 149 Mt by 2030. Research into this area has potential to have huge economic and environmental impacts, however the equipment needed to perform this research is often prohibitively expensive and only available on large scale, with quoted 'lab-scale' equipment still taking up the footprint of a small laboratory and costing hundreds of thousands of pounds. This paper details the design and fabrication of a truly lab-scale, modular wet spinning system for rapid first principle research into wet spun fibres. The total fabrication costs for this system are in the region of £500-700 and the total footprint required is <1 m
