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

Materials utilized for impact protection must be capable of effective absorption and dissipation of external impact forces as well as being lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. One strategy to meet these stringent criteria is through the exploitation of adaptive dynamic networks. Herein, we report a series of chain-extended supramolecular polyurethane and poly(urethane-urea) elastomers, which utilize both hydrogen bonding interactions and disulfide units to impart structural stability, reprocessability, and reversible adaptability. The key design element of these phase-separated materials is the use of two distinct dynamic bonding mechanisms within the hard domains, which serve to efficiently reinforce the elastomeric assemblies. The optimum elastomer exhibited excellent self-recoverability (91% and 99%) after relaxing for 30 and 60 s, respectively, at 20% compression. During loading-unloading compression cycles, the elastic recovery ratios of this elastomer reached 77 ± 0.3% with dissipated energies of 235,000 J m
