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

The main drawback of sequential dual-curable off-stoichiometric epoxy-anhydride thermosets diluted with 1,6-bis-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-hexane (HDDGE), which is low glass transition temperature after final curing at 150 °C, was overcome by using 1,4-bis-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-butane (DD) as a difunctional aliphatic epoxy-based reactive diluent. In addition to this diluent, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride and 1-methylimidazole were mixed and used as epoxy, anhydride comonomer, and anionic initiator, respectively. The quasi-sequential curing behavior of off-stoichiometric formulations arises from two reactions: the anhydride-epoxy condensation (esterification) and epoxy homopolymerization (etherification). Although these reactions are designed to occur sequentially, the overlap in their activation temperature ranges leads to partial competition between them. The relative contribution of both curing stages, as well as precuring time, determine the changes in viscosity during the curing process. It is therefore difficult to precisely separate these two curing stages, which makes dual-curing formulations quasi-sequential. The final off-stoichiometric material showed a
