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.
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
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a polymer that can be used as a vitreous substitute. To fulfill the need for PDMS on a large scale, synthesis of PDMS in a large number is also needed. Therefore, intensive research is needed to produce PDMS in large quantities. This study reported that the result of the synthesis of PDMS on a scale three and five times larger than the lab-scale using a ring-opening polymerization method with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) as a monomer and hexamethyldisiloxane as a chain terminator by increasing the volume of raw materials and reactors. The viscosity of PDMS obtained is in the ranges of 1000-3700 mPa.s for lab-scale, 1130-3590 mPa.s for three times scale-up, and 1270-4320 for five times scale-up. The obtained refractive index ranges from 1.3982 to 1.4008 and the surface tension ranges from 20 to 21 mN/m. From FTIR measurements, the synthesized PDMS from lab-scale and scale-up had structural and functional groups similar to commercial PDMS, showing that PDMS has been successfully synthesized.
