Effects of Fiber Angle on the Tensile Properties of Partially Delignified and Densified Wood.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Partial delignification and densification provide a pathway to significant improvement in the mechanical performance of wood. In order to elucidate potential effects of this treatment on the mechanical anisotropy of wood, partially delignified and densified spruce wood veneers were characterized at varying degrees of off-axis alignment. While the tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) were clearly improved in parallel to the axis of wood fibers, this improvement quickly leveled off at misalignment angles ≥30°. For transverse tensile strength, the performance of alkaline-treated and densified wood was even inferior to that of untreated wood. Microscopic examination revealed the presence of microscopic cracks in treated wood, which are assumed to be responsible for this observation. It is concluded that impaired transverse tensile properties are a weakness of partially delignified and densified wood and should be considered when a potential usage in load-bearing applications is intended.
