Microbial degradation of the waste jute fiber and sawdust fiber-based epoxy composites in drainage system.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 non-biodegradable nature of polymers presents a considerable environmental hazard, mainly when they accumulate in drainage systems and pollute the water. The application of natural fiber composites has the potential to offer a feasible resolution to address this problem, as natural fibers possess inherent biodegradability. This study examined the degradation ability of epoxy composites made with 5 wt% waste jute fiber and 5 wt% waste sawdust fiber when subjected to drainage water for one year. The composites comprising jute fiber and sawdust demonstrated a reduction in tensile strength by 57 % and 40 %, respectively, because of biodegradation caused by microorganisms. The microorganism consumed the fiber for energy, resulting in significant weight and flexural strength loss. The weathered waste jute and sawdust fiber composite samples displayed an additional peak at a wavenumber of 1700 cm
