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

High-performance polyurethane (PU) elastomers have demonstrated many important industrial applications in areas such as soft robotics, flexible sensors and electronic devices. However, it has been challenging to design strong and tough elastomers that are capable of fire-extinguishing and self-healing due to different governing mechanisms associated with these properties. Here we present a molecular engineering strategy to achieve strong, tough, fire-retardant, and healable PU elastomers by rationally designing a phosphorus/nitrogen (P/N)- and π-π interacting biphenyl-containing diol as hard segments with side groups. The formation of relatively strong interchain π-π stacking enables the elastomer to achieve superior mechanical and self-healing properties, while the combination of π-π stacking and P/N elements promotes exceptional fire retardancy. The resultant elastomer displays a record-high large break strain of ∼2500%, a large toughness (ca. 379 MJ/m
