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

The effect of low-temperature plasma treatment on the surface properties of thermoplastic starch film (TPS) was investigated. The surface layer (SL) modification of polymeric materials is mainly carried out to improve wettability and adhesive properties and to increase surface cleanliness. TPS was modified in an air atmosphere under either atmospheric or reduced pressure. The process parameters for modifying the SL of TPS were determined based on wettability assessment using a goniometer, geometric structure using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the degree of oxidation (O/C ratio) using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Additionally, the effect of plasma treatment on TPS film sterilization was investigated.
