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

Phenolic acid esters of cellulose show antioxidative and antimicrobial properties, which are very interesting for a variety of applications, including packaging and medicine. In contrast to simple mixing or encapsulation of phenolic compounds in polymeric materials, covalent linkage to the polymer backbone enables long-term activity and reduces toxicity because leaching of phenolic moieties is avoided. For the synthesis of such polymers, chemical modification of cellulose by polymer analogous reactions must be performed. Cellulose esters of ferulic-, 4-hydroxybenzoic-, vanillic-, protocatechuic-, and gallic acids are synthesized by two different approaches. On the one hand, transesterification of cellulose with corresponding methyl esters in DMSO/DBU/CO
