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.
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
Accelerator-free (AF) carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) glove systems have been proposed as safer alternatives to conventional accelerator-based formulations; however, prior studies are largely restricted to isolated latex grades or single curing conditions, limiting confidence in industrial robustness and scalability. This study presents the extended systematic evaluation of polycarbodiimide/zinc oxide (PCDI/ZnO)-cross-linked AF-XNBR gloves across key manufacturing variables governing real-world performance. Gloves of three controlled thicknesses (55, 70, and 90 μm), produced from latex grades with varying acrylonitrile contents, are cured over a wide temperature range (65, 90, and 110 °C) to elucidate structure-processing-performance relationships. Mechanical integrity is comprehensively assessed according to ASTM D6319 requirements. Notably, the results demonstrate that AF-XNBR gloves can achieve compliant performance even under low-temperature curing conditions, challenging the prevailing assumption that high thermal input is essential. These findings establish the practical sufficiency and industrial viability of PCDI/ZnO-based AF systems, providing a robust framework for optimization and large-scale adoption.
