Unveiling the Hidden Properties of Tomato Peels: Cutin Ester Derivatives as Bio-Based Plasticizers for Polylactic Acid.
Article in Polymers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most important biopolymers employed on the market due to its good mechanical strength and barrier properties. On the other hand, this material presents a rather low flexibility, limiting its employment. The valorization of bio-based agro-food waste for the modification of bioplastics is a highly appealing approach for the replacement of petrol-based materials. The aim of this work is to employ cutin fatty acids derived from a biopolymer (i.e., cutin), present in waste tomato peels and its bio-based derivatives as new plasticizers to enhance PLA flexibility. In particular, pure 10,16-dihydroxy hexadecanoic acid was extracted and isolated from tomato peels and then functionalized to give the desired compounds. All the molecules developed in this study were characterized by NMR and ESI-MS. Blends at different concentrations (10, 20, 30, and 40%
