Xylose Acetals - a New Class of Sustainable Solvents and Their Application in Enzymatic Polycondensation.
Article in ChemSusChem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing regulatory pressure due to environmental and health concerns. Consequently, there is a growing demand for sustainable solvents, particularly in the enzymatic synthesis and processing of polyesters. Biocatalysts offer a sustainable method for producing these materials; however, achieving high molecular weights often necessitates use of solvents. In this work, we introduce a new class of alternative aprotic solvents with medium polarity produced directly from agricultural waste biomass in up to 83 mol % yield (on xylan basis). The new solvents have a largely unmodified xylose core and acetal functionality, yet they show no peroxide formation and provide reduced flammability risk. We also demonstrate their successful application in enzymatic polycondensation reactions with Candida antarctica lipase B (CaLB). In particular, the solvent dibutylxylose (DBX) outperformed the hazardous solvent diphenyl ether and facilitated polycondensation of the lignin-derived diester pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate, yielding polyesters with a M
