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

Great advancements have been achieved in the past decade for chemically recyclable polymers that can be selectively depolymerized back to their monomers to address the end-of-life issue of plastics. Nevertheless, the technologically important thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with on-demand depolymerization property have received less attention largely due to their intrinsically complicated multiblock architectures and challenges involved in the selective chemical recycling of different monomers. This review highlights the recent achievements of chemically recyclable TPEs by focusing on their preparation, mechanical properties, and on-demand depolymerization and recycling. A variety of TPEs are introduced according to their backbone, including copolyesters, polyurethanes, and polyolefins. The dynamically cross-linked elastomers with chemical recyclability are also briefly discussed. Finally, the current challenges and possible future directions for chemically recyclable TPEs are also addressed.
