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

Hydrophilic modification of polyester, typically achieved through methods such as alkali treatment, can be detrimental to the environment and substantially reduces the mechanical properties. This paper proposes a novel approach: first, a vinyl-containing polyurethane hydrophilic agent (QAVPU) is synthesized; subsequently, electron beam (E-beam) irradiation is used to induce the graft polymerization of QAVPU onto the polyester substrate. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of QAVPU and its successful grafting onto polyester. The graft-modified polyester exhibited significantly improved hydrophilicity, which remained durable after long-term washing. Moreover, the grafting modification enhanced the moisture permeability of the polyester while having no significant adverse effects on its mechanical properties or air permeability.
