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

In the 5G era, electromagnetic pollution poses an invisible threat to human safety. Given that electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption invariably generates heat, this phenomenon may induce structural degradation of the material and pose safety risks. It is crucial to develop high-strength, flame-retardant electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. Herein, we propose a green and sustainable approach to induce stable dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with in situ lignin and non-covalent bonding in waste bamboo materials. The in situ lignin released during bamboo fiber pretreatment was utilized as a "bridge" to enhance the interfacial bonding between CNTs and the fibers, and co-assembles with the CNTs through inter-boundary hydrogen bonding, electrostatic stabilization, and π-π stacking. Then, biocomposites were synthesized in one step by hot pressing, using molten in situ lignin as a green binder for self-bonding. The biocomposite exhibits excellent EMI shielding performance (72.5 dB), superior mechanical properties, flame retardancy (total heat release reduced by 35.22%, Total smoke production reduced by 81.58%). It offers a sustainable approach to developing multifunctional structural materials for the construction, aerospace, and military sectors.
