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

Conventional lead-based protective materials used in diagnostic radiology involve some notable limitations in terms of high weight, toxicity, and environmental concerns associated with their disposal. Lead-free polymer shielding materials incorporating high-atomic-number fillers and iodine-containing components have therefore attracted increasing attention. However, high filler loading can induce particle agglomeration, localized iodine-rich regions, interfacial defects, and nonuniform X-ray attenuation. Accordingly, improving filler dispersion and structural stability is essential to maintain effective shielding performance. In this study, the effects of lignin-assisted interfacial stabilization on filler dispersion, iodine retention, structural properties, and X-ray shielding performance in highly filled polyurethane (PU) composites were investigated. At 80 kVp, a 3 wt% lignin sheet exhibited a radiation protection efficiency of 77.4%, a linear attenuation coefficient of 48.52 cm
