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

Introducing mechanical interlocking into epoxy thermosets can enhance material performance. However, this method typically requires complex monomer design and elaborate synthesis. Here, we demonstrate a simple strategy that exploits the dual functionality of a commercially available hydroxylated pillar[5]arene, which acts simultaneously as a macrocyclic host and a rigid cross-linking unit. By threading polymer chains through the macrocycles, poly(pseudo)rotaxanes consisting of rigid wheels and flexible axles were formed. Then, in situ curing fixed the pillar[5]arene into the epoxy networks through both mechanical and covalent bonding. The resulting materials exhibited a balanced combination with tensile strength of 29.7 MPa and toughness of 21.6 MJ·m
