Preparation and Characterization of Novel Poly(Lactic Acid) Composites Reinforced with "Latxa" Sheep Wool Fibers: The Effect of Peroxide Surface Treatments and Fiber Content.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
"Latxa" sheep wool is rough, and it is not used in the textile industry because the fiber diameter is high compared with other wool fibers. Nowadays, this wool is considered as disposal and, with the aim to give it value, new uses must be explored. In the current work, the "Latxa" sheep wool fiber was evaluated as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) polymer reinforcement. With the objective to optimize fiber/matrix adhesion, fibers were surface modified with peroxide. Oxidation treatment with peroxide led to chemical modifications of the wool fibers that improved the fiber/PLA adhesion, but the strength values achieved for the composites were lower compared to the neat PLA ones. The mechanical properties obtained in the current work were compared with the literature data of the PLA composites reinforced with vegetable fibers. The wool fibers showed inferior mechanical properties compared to the vegetable fiber counterparts. However, the preliminary results indicated that the incorporation of wool fibers to PLA reduced the flammability of composites.
