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
This study investigates lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNF) as a sustainable alternative material for printed circuit board (PCB) substrates, demonstrating an application through the development of an eco-friendly computer mouse demonstrator. LCNF is derived from lignin-rich cellulose pulp, a side stream product of biorefinery processes, combining the natural strength of cellulose fibrils with lignin to enhance mechanical and electrochemical properties. The research outlines the process of fibrillating lignin-rich cellulose pulp at 10 kW/h per kg into LCNF, followed by thermal and pressure treatment (at Δp = 50 - 1500 kN, ΔT = 30 - 120 °C) to achieve a rigid PCB substrate. Comprehensive characterization of the LCNF substrate included assessments of its mechanical properties (flexural and tensile testing), dimensional stability, electrical properties, surface uniformity and thermal conductivity. The LCNF PCB was integrated in a computer mouse demonstrator featuring inkjet printing of circuit layouts and electronic component assembly, while the mouse housing was designed and 3D-printed using eco-friendly Wood-PLA filament. Electrical properties characterization of the printed circuit and resulting functionality of the computer mouse showcases a sustainable approach to eco-electronics using wood-derived materials. This study underscores the potential of wood-derived nanomaterials like LCNF to reduce electronic waste (e-waste) associated with conventional PCB materials and promote the development of a more eco-friendly electronics, contributing to sustainable, high-performance ecoPCBs and advancing green technology.
