Short fiber composites from postconsumer textile waste and their suitability in packaging applications.
Article in Heliyon, 2025. 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
Large amounts of textile waste are generated annually, and postconsumer blended fiber textiles are particularly challenging to recycle due to difficulties in sorting and limited recycling options, often leading to downcycling or landfilling. This study aimed to create composites from discarded textiles by compressing air-laid nonwoven sheets made from waste viscose and a thermoplastic binder fiber. Ten composite samples, incorporating different types of viscose fibers, were produced using both pre- and postconsumer fabrics to assess the impact of consumer usage, dye presence, and elastane on the composites. A 0.1 wt% NaOH treatment was applied to some postconsumer samples to remove impurities. Mechanical and thermal properties were evaluated using tensile, 3-point bending, impact testing, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The suitability of the composites for packaging applications was also explored, and pilot-scale production demonstrated promising potential for upscaling the process for commercial use.
