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

Composites based on biodegradable polymers are attractive replacements for metallic electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields, but their performance is limited by nanofiller agglomeration. In poly(lactic acid)/poly(butylene succinate) (PLA/PBS) composites reinforced with carbon fiber (CF), unmodified ZnO nanoparticles agglomerate above 1 wt %, severely embrittling the material. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were coated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG, 8 kDa) by solution adsorption and incorporated at 0.5-2 wt % into PLA/PBS (80/20) containing 20 wt % CF. FTIR showed a +14 cm
