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

Phenyl silicone rubber is widely used in aircraft seals for its high- and low-temperature tolerance and chemical stability. However, intense UV radiation and elevated ozone at high altitudes accelerate aging, threatening seal reliability. The accelerated aging tests of phenyl silicone rubber seals have been carried out under UV and ozone to examine their mechanical, microstructural, and chemical evolution. Then, a finite element contact model of phenyl silicone rubber seals was developed considering the influence of UV and ozone aging. Both conditions increased hardness and elastic modulus but reduced tensile strength and elongation at break, with UV degradation markedly more severe. UV exposure caused a 29% maximum loss in elongation (compared to 16% under ozone) and a hardness rise of 2.30 HA, roughly 1.7 times that of ozone aging (1.35 HA). The contact pressure increases by approximately 15.2% and 10.7%. These findings provide a theoretical basis for performance evaluation and service-life prediction of these seals in high-altitude environments.
