Recycling of Polyurethane via Mechanocatalytic Methanolysis/Hydrolysis.
Article in ChemSusChem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Polyurethane (PU) is the 6th most produced plastic on a global basis, and thus one of the most important targets in the field of recycling of plastic waste. The glycolysis of PU is currently considered the most promising pathway toward industrial implementation. However, the energy consumption during the process, the cost of the excess glycol relative to PU, and the potentially reduced quality of polyol products resulting from glycol residues may still limit the speed of implementation of PU chemical recycling processes from lab to the pilot plant scale. Therefore, an alternative route for PU depolymerization is explored using mechanochemistry and catalysis. In this work, recovery of up to 86% of soluble polyol by mechanocatalytic methanolysis/hydrolysis of NaOH-impregnated commercial PU product (household sponge), with a Cu/MgAlO
