High Axial Ratio Nanochitins for Ultrastrong and Shape-Recoverable Hydrogels and Cryogels via Ice Templating.
Article in ACS nano, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
High yield (>85%) and low-energy deconstruction of never-dried residual marine biomass is proposed following partial deacetylation and microfluidization. This process results in chitin nanofibrils (nanochitin, NCh) of ultrahigh axial size (aspect ratios of up to 500), one of the largest for bioderived nanomaterials. The nanochitins are colloidally stable in water (ζ-potential = +95 mV) and produce highly entangled networks upon pH shift. Viscoelastic and strong hydrogels are formed by ice templating upon freezing and thawing with simultaneous cross-linking. Slow supercooling and ice nucleation at -20 °C make ice crystals grow slowly and exclude nanochitin and cross-linkers, becoming spatially confined at the interface. At a nanochitin concentration as low as 0.4 wt %, highly viscoelastic hydrogels are formed, with a storage modulus of ∼16 kPa, at least an order of magnitude larger compared to those measured for the strongest chitin-derived hydrogels reported so far. Moreover, the water absorption capacity of the hydrogels reaches a value of 466 g g
