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

This study comprehensively investigates the thermal and mechanical degradation behavior of molded glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) grating composites subjected to temperatures ranging from 80 °C to 320 °C. Three types of industrially produced GFRP gratings-open-type (OG), thin closed-skin (CG), and thick closed-skin (TCG)-were evaluated using mechanical, microstructural, chemical, and crystallographic analyses. Three-point bending tests revealed that TCG-type specimens exhibited superior thermal resistance, experiencing only a 43.9% loss in strength at 320 °C, whereas OG-type specimens showed significant resin degradation, fiber-matrix decomposition, and microcrack formation at temperatures above 200 °C. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses revealed significant resin degradation, fiber-matrix decomposition, and microcrack formation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) confirmed substantial mass loss and structural disintegration at temperatures above 200 °C. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) results revealed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) occurred at approximately 115-120 °C. The second-order regression model developed to estimate flexural strength under increasing temperature provided high accuracy (R
