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

Corn husk is widely available as an agricultural by-product, yet its use in higher-value composite materials is still limited. This study examined how corn husk mass fraction affects the performance balance of corn husk/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) biocomposites (CHB) intended for moderate-load furniture board components. CHB containing 10 wt% and 30 wt% corn husk was prepared by hot pressing at 200 °C, 10 MPa, and 5 min. Density, water absorption, tensile, compressive, and flexural strength, Shore D hardness, and screw withdrawal resistance were evaluated. Increasing corn husk content from 10 wt% to 30 wt% reduced tensile strength, Shore D hardness, and screw withdrawal resistance. However, flexural strength increased from 22.8 ± 0.5 to 39.8 ± 1.1 MPa, while density decreased from 1.30 ± 0.03 to 1.09 ± 0.05 g/cm
