Adding Mandarin Peel Waste to a Biodegradable Polymeric Matrix: Reinforcement or Degradation Effect?
Article in Polymers, 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
In the current context, the use of fillers derived from fruit and vegetable waste is a crucial approach to mitigate waste and promote sustainable resource use, thus contributing to product life cycle completion and the achievement of sustainability goals. This study focuses on incorporating an endemic waste hitherto considered irrelevant within a biodegradable matrix. The resulting biocomposites were carefully characterized mechanically, rheologically, and morphologically to identify the connections between processability, structure, and properties. The results show that the presence of the filler results in an increase in the stiffness of the material (up to 27% in elastic modulus) accompanied by a decrease in tensile strength (approximately 50%) and elongation at break, which is on average about 7% at the highest filler content. This behavior was attributed to poor interfacial adhesion and the influence of a degradation process caused by the presence of citric acid and/or impurities in the filler.
