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

Electrospinning is a highly versatile technique for fabricating nanofibrous membranes with high surface-area-to-volume ratios and tunable porosity. Although polycaprolactone (PCL) is widely utilized in biomedical engineering due to its biocompatibility, its electrospinning traditionally relies on hazardous organic solvents like dichloromethane (DCM) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). This paper details the development of a fully sustainable, green electrospinning process for PCL using a bio-derived binary mixture of acetic acid and formic acid. Processing parameters (applied voltage, tip-to-collector distance, and flow rate) were systematically optimized using a Design of Experiments (DoE) response surface methodology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the successful fabrication of uniform, bead-free nanofibers with a mean diameter of 247 nm, representing a 37.3% reduction compared to conventional DCM:DMF-spun matrices. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) verified complete solvent evaporates.
