Cost-effective and recyclable aerogels from cellulose acetate for oil spills clean-up.

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
Cigarette butts are the most known variety of anthropogenic litter on Earth, which consists mainly of cellulose acetate. It can be prepared as aerogel which can be used to remove oil pollution caused by heavy shipping traffic in the Baltic Sea. It is prepared as a solution in acetone which then is poured into water and oven-dried afterwards. The hydrophobicity can be simply improved by wetting with a little amount of oil. Aerogel's sorption capacity, as well as its regeneration for sorption of crude oil, marine diesel oil, and biodiesel sorption from water surface, has been estimated. Their recyclability to fresh samples with re-characterization has been also determined. It has been found that multiple use of cellulose acetate aerogels is not effective because the sorption capacity decreases by up to 80% after a single use. However, the sorption capacity of recycled samples decreases by only 20% on average compared to the samples from the first batch. This capacity could be fully exploited during the life cycle of cellulose acetate.
