Modeling of the Gelation Process in Cellulose Aerogels.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cellulose aerogels are the most well-studied biopolymer-based systems in the literature, yet we lack a complete understanding of the underlying gelation mechanism, as well as that of the effect of solvent exchange on the topology of their network. This work presents a coarse-grained model describing the gelation kinetics in cellulose aerogel systems. A discrete element model is employed to generate the cellulose structure, and the solvents are modeled implicitly. Langevin dynamics is applied to solve the system of Newtonian equations. The model successfully generates the structure of the cellulose gel, hydrogel, alcogel, as well as aerogel. A model parameter sensitivity analysis is presented, and the results of the model are validated against the experimental data. The model provides insights into the mechanism of gelation while also shedding light on the morphological alterations resulting from the washing, solvent exchange, and drying steps.
