Nanofibrous Photothermal Materials from Natural Resources: A Green Approach for Artwork Restoration.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cleaning unwanted paint layers represents a significant challenge in cultural heritage restoration, requiring high effectiveness, spatial precision, and nontoxic techniques. Cleaning vandalic acts or street art paints is particularly challenging because of insoluble varnishes, which are very resistant to traditional removal treatments. Here, for the first time, we employ the photothermal effect for cleaning an artwork, using electrospun nonwovens incorporated with melanin nanoparticles (NPs). This material shows outstanding photothermal properties and photostability. The nonwoven incorporated with melanin NPs, in combination with a solvent, efficiently removes alkyd resin paint layers in a short time of application, with high spatial control. Moreover, an eco-compatible system is obtained by producing a nonwoven made up of a natural polymer electrospun in water, cuttlefish ink as a melanin source, and a green solvent. In summary, using the new pullulan-melanin nonwoven represents a novel and unusual application of the photothermal effect, and its fastness, effectiveness, and safety make it suitable for use in the artwork restoration field.
