Wood-Water Relations Affected by Anhydride and Formaldehyde Modification of Wood.
Article in ACS omega, 2022. 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
The moisture uptake of wood is influenced by accessible hydroxyl groups acting as sorption sites and the water-available cell wall space. To what extent do these mechanisms control the moisture uptake in wood needs to be addressed. For this purpose, we modified sorption site density and cell wall space by wood treatments with acetic anhydride or formaldehyde and investigated their effects on moisture uptake. Chemical changes at the cell wall level caused by the treatments were first determined by confocal Raman imaging. Following this, the deuterium exchange method was used to gravimetrically measure the hydroxyl accessibility, while the moisture uptake and the consequent swelling of the wood were determined by dynamic measurements of mass and dimensions within the hygroscopic range. The results showed that the effectiveness in reducing the moisture content of untreated wood across the hygroscopic range differed between the anhydride- and formaldehyde-modified wood. We also observed a poor correlation of accessible hydroxyl concentration in formaldehyde-modified wood with weight percentage gain and water uptake. Moreover, the dynamic mass and dimension analysis indicated that the reduction in swelling in formalized wood was affected by an unidentified mechanism in addition to reduced moisture content.
