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

MXenes enable high-performance fibers with strength, toughness, and conductivity, yet weak edge-to-edge interactions between nanosheets remain a critical challenge. Inspired by the cord-bound architecture of lamellar armor, we use molecular cords of carboxymethyl cellulose-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes to bridge adjacent MXene nanosheets via ionic coordination. Through mild and continuous wet-spinning, crosslinking, and hot-pressing, we fabricate MXene fibers containing only 0.12 wt% of the molecular cords that deliver enhanced mechanical properties: a tensile strength of 1.48 ± 0.06 GPa (peak: 1.55 GPa), ductility of 17.7 ± 0.8%, and toughness of 131.0 ± 8.7 MJ m
