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

Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely utilized in various scientific fields and technologies, offering environmentally friendly alternatives to toxic volatile solvents. In particular, protic ionic liquids (PILs), a subset of ILs, boast advantages such as simple synthesis, low cost, and biodegradability. ILs are promising solvents for electrospinning, enabling the production of high-quality nanometric fibers. Despite their potential, challenges persist in electrospinning polymer solutions containing ILs or poly-(ionic liquid)-s, mainly due to changes in solution conductivity, leading to rheological alterations and jet instabilities. In contrast, Solution Blown Spinning (SBS) offers a solution to these challenges, employing a pressurized air system without electric fields and ensuring a high rate of fiber production. This study aims to produce polymeric submicrometric fibers by leveraging the benefits of ILs as additives, along with the practicality and adaptability of the SBS technique. Twelve compositions of poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly-(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) using 2-hydroxydiethylammonium propionate (2-HDEAPr) PIL were spun and characterized by SEM, FTIR, and DSC analyses. The addition of 0.25 mL of PIL was sufficient to reduce the average diameter compared to pure fiber, due to the plasticizing effect of the additive. The findings confirm the feasibility of fiber production by SBS, highlighting fiber smoothness, alignment, and continuity. The average fiber diameters measured were 0.55, 0.66, and 0.91 μm, respectively, for PVA-0.25 mL, PVA-0.50 mL, and PVA-1 mL PIL. Additionally, PVP compositions exhibited an average diameter of approximately 0.40 and 0.55 μm. Such results indicate the potential of these aqueous solution blow-spun fibers for the development of eco-friendly fibrous materials.
