Alkaline-Acidic Sodium Chlorite Pretreatment of Bamboo Powder for Preparation of Excellent Mechanical, Transparent, and Biodegradable Films.
Article in Polymers, 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
Bamboo is widely distributed around the world as an excellent renewable resource. However, the structural and morphological changes in the bamboo samples in extracting bamboo cellulose fiber using alkaline-acidic sodium chlorite are unclear, and the potential for preparation of cellulose packaging films is yet to be explored. In this paper, the changes in micro-morphology, chemical structure, and pyrolytic behavior of moso bamboo powder during alkaline and acidic sodium chlorite pretreatment were intensively investigated. The bamboo cellulose fiber (BC) diameter decreased from 14.41 to 11.79 µm with the treatment as a result of the removal of amorphous materials such as lignin and hemicellulose. The BC was dissolved in NaOH/urea aqueous solution, and all-cellulose composite films were obtained with excellent mechanical properties and high transparency. When the BC contents reached 4 wt%, the resulting films had a light transmittance of about 90% in the visible light range (400-780 nm), and the tensile strength was as high as 57.9 MPa, which was much higher than that of the polyethylene packaging film (PE, 35 MPa). In addition, the film also suggests superior biodegradability compared to PE films. Therefore, the current shortage of raw materials and environmental pollution faced by plastic packaging materials may be expected to gain new inspiration in this study.
