Ionic Liquid Catalysts for Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Glycolysis: Use of Structure Activity Relationships to Combine Activity with Biodegradability.
Article in ACS sustainable chemistry & engineering, 2025. 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 chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) plastic by catalytic glycolysis is an enabling technology for the circular economy that is attracting burgeoning academic and commercial interest. Ionic liquids are emerging as a versatile catalyst class for this transformation, yet general strategies for how both high activity and biodegradability can be incorporated into catalyst design have not yet emerged. Beginning with an active literature catalyst incorporating a phosphonium cation of concern from a biodegradability standpoint, a structure activity relationship study involving 33 systematically varied ionic liquid catalysts was undertaken, which highlighted (
