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

Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) and ammonium lignosulfonate (ALS) are promising renewable constituents for wood-fiber biocomposites, but the effect of their relative proportion within the binder phase remains insufficiently understood. This preliminary study evaluated wood-fiber panels produced at a constant dry-matter matrix-to-fiber ratio of 50:50 while varying the SCG:ALS ratio from 70:30 to 30:70. The panels were hot-pressed and characterized for their physical and mechanical properties, while the corresponding SCG-ALS matrix formulations were evaluated by simultaneous TGA-DSC analysis. Increasing the SCG fraction generally improved dimensional stability and mechanical performance, whereas formulations containing 50% or more ALS showed a marked deterioration in water resistance. The SCG-rich 70:30 formulation provided the highest bending performance, with MOE and MOR values of 2156.5 and 12.83 N·mm
