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

Adaptive vibration control under variable dynamic loading requires damping materials that combine structural stability, efficient energy dissipation, and field-tunable mechanical response. Here, natural-rubber-based magnetorheological elastomers containing coumarone resin (MRE-C), naphthenic oil (MRE-N), or paraffin (MRE-P) were systematically compared through microstructural characterization, dynamic viscoelastic testing, vulcanization kinetics, and equilibrium swelling. MRE-C exhibited pronounced strain-induced softening, whereas MRE-P showed a high relative dynamic sensitivity but limited absolute stiffness. MRE-N achieved the most favorable overall balance, with more continuous anisotropic particle-chain structures and the lowest Payne-effect amplitude (37.90%). At 5 A, its storage modulus increased by 25.8%, close to the 30.9% increase in MRE-P, while maintaining substantially higher absolute G' and G″ and a nearly unchanged tan δ. MRE-N's macroscopic advantage was associated with more favorable network formation, with 17.9% and 7.4% lower apparent activation energies and 7.2% and 18.1% higher apparent crosslink densities than MRE-C and MRE-P, respectively. Molecular simulations of representative sulfur bridges further indicated that monosulfidic bridges favored geometric constraint and structural recovery, whereas disulfidic bridges exhibited greater conformational adaptability. These results link plasticizer-dependent vulcanization and crosslinking state with macroscopic magneto-viscoelastic performance and identify naphthenic oil as the most effective of the investigated plasticizers for balancing stiffness, energy dissipation, and magnetic responsiveness.
