Totally green cellulose conversion into bio-oil and cellulose citrate using molten citric acid in an open system: synthesis, characterization and computational investigation of reaction mechanisms.
Article in RSC advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The simultaneous transformation of crystalline or amorphous cellulose into a furan-based bio-oil and cellulose citrate was realized avoiding the use of strong inorganic acids, drastic conditions, enzymatic treatments or microorganism fermentation. This innovative method is very eco-friendly and involves the use of molten citric acid under solvent free conditions at atmospheric pressure. An accurate discussion on chemical composition of the bio-oil enriched in bioprivileged molecules as well as structural and morphological characterization of cellulose citrate was reported. Moreover, mechanistic hypotheses were formulated on the basis of experimental findings and detailed DFT quantum-mechanical simulations were carried out to confirm, step by step, the proposed reaction paths.
