Biodegradability of PLA-Based Nonwoven Fabrics with Poultry Feathers.
Article in Polymers, 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
Geotextiles are widely used for separation, drainage, filtration, and erosion control, as well as for enhancing plant growth conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating poultry feathers on the biodegradation rate of nonwoven geotextiles in arable soil. The research was conducted under laboratory conditions, with biodegradation assessed based on mass loss. The findings confirmed that the presence of keratin-rich waste positively influenced the biodegradation rate of the tested materials. Additionally, the potential ecotoxicological effects of biodegradation were examined, revealing no adverse impact on microbiological activity. Statistical analysis demonstrated a correlation between material composition and biodegradation time. This study represents a significant step toward the sustainable management of poultry feather waste in agricultural applications. The tested materials could serve as an environmentally viable alternative for long-term applications, aligning with ecological sustainability principles by simultaneously enriching soil with essential nutrients and promoting waste valorization.
