The valorization of municipal grass waste for the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals.
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 7 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 study reports on the valorization of municipal grass waste (MGW) for the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), as an eco-friendly and sustainable low-cost precursor for cellulose nanomaterial production. The raw MGW was subjected to boiling in water pretreatment, and alkali and bleaching treatments for the extraction of cellulose fibers, followed by isolation of the CNCs through a conventional acid hydrolysis technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the cellulose fibers extracted while scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images confirmed the presence of cellulose fibers and CNCs, respectively. The chemical composition of MGW was ascertained through the TAPPI-222 om-02 standard for lignin content and determination of α-cellulose. The diameters of CNCs are in the range of 5-15 nm with the length ranging from 100 nm to 500 nm, while a crystallinity index of 58.2% was determined from X-ray diffraction analysis. The production of CNCs from MGW is an avenue to convert green waste into a value-added product, in addition to reducing the volume of cumulative waste in the environment.
