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

This study investigated the effects of solvent vapor annealing on the microphase separation structure of polyurethane (PU) using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and complementary techniques. Solvent annealing, as an alternative to thermal annealing, offers a lower-temperature method to refine the microstructure of PU. We examined the impact of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetone and toluene vapors on a commercial polyether PU, focusing on changes in microphase structure, adsorption kinetics and thermal stability. The SAXS data, analyzed by a polydisperse hard-sphere model, indicated that the degree of phase separation increased upon solvent annealing, and the order of influence exerted by the solvent vapors on the microphase structure follows MEK > acetone > toluene.
