1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Closed-loop recycling of plastics is needed to bridge the gap between the material demands imposed by a growing global population and the depletion of nonrenewable petroleum feedstocks. Here, we examine chemical recycling of polyurethane foams (PUFs), the sixth most produced polymer in the world, through PUF acidolysis via dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) to release recyclable polyols. Acidolysis enables recycling of the polyol component of PUFs to high-quality materials, and while the influence of DCA structure on recycled PUF quality has been reported, there are no reports that examine the influence of DCA structure on the kinetics of polyol release. Here, we develop quantitative relationships between DCA structure and PUF acidolysis function for ∼10 different DCA reagents. PUF acidolysis kinetics were quantified with ∼1 s time resolution using the rate of carbon dioxide (CO
