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

Silk fibroin (SF) exhibits excellent mechanical properties closely associated with its crystalline structure. Silk resin is an important plastic material for environmental applications. In this study, we investigated how different carbon chains affect the crystalline structure and physical properties of bulk SF resins. SF was modified with five carboxylic anhydrides of varying chain lengths and steric hindrance and was fabricated into bulk resins via thermal compression molding. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that long or bulky carbon chains altered the secondary structure of SF. X-ray diffraction demonstrated the expansion of the spacing between β-sheets and changes in the stacked sheet structure depending on the carbon chain structure, as supported by differential scanning calorimetry through altered thermal stability. Mechanical testing showed differences in bending strength and modulus, with SF modified by a
