Ultrafast Thermal RAFT Depolymerization at Higher Solid Contents.
Article in ACS macro letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Although thermal solution RAFT depolymerization has recently emerged as an efficient chemical recycling methodology, current approaches require specialized solvents (i.e., dioxane), typically suffer from extended reaction times, and operate exclusively under highly dilute conditions (i.e., 5 mM repeat unit concentration). To circumvent these limitations, a commercial radical initiator is introduced to kinetically untrap the depolymerization and promote chain-end activation. By varying the initiator concentration, a remarkable rate acceleration (up to 72 times faster) can be observed, enabling the completion of the depolymerization within 5 min. Notably, a 20-fold increase in the repeat unit concentration did not appreciably compromise the final depolymerization yield, while very high percentages of monomer could be recovered in a wide range of solvents, including dimethyl sulfoxide, anisole, xylene, acetonitrile, toluene, and trichlorobenzene. Our findings not only offer intriguing mechanistic aspects, but also significantly expand the scope and applications of thermal RAFT depolymerization.
