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

Entanglements are topological constraints that govern the dynamic mechanical behavior of polymer networks. Linear polymers inevitably entangle at relatively low molecular weights, whereas bottlebrush polymers-consisting of a long backbone densely grafted with many relatively short side chains-suppress entanglements, enabling solvent-free networks with tissue-like softness. Yet, the same steric crowding pre-strains the backbone and renders such networks brittle. Here, we report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that combine extreme softness and toughness. Using short polyethylene glycol side chains, we synthesize high molecular weight bottlebrush polymers (>3 × 10
