Comparative Analysis of Energy Viability of Crop Residue from Different Corn Varieties.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The valorization of agricultural residues assumes a pivotal position in the circular economy by transforming waste into a useful and environmentally friendly product, with the cultivation of corn, as one of the world's predominant crops, being crucial. This article aimed to investigate the feasibility of using residues from corn crop as biofuels, going more in-depth into determining the effect that crop variety may have on its thermal qualities. Specifically, 12 samples of corn crop residues were studied in three main groups: conventional, forage, and transgenic varieties. To achieve this, proximate and ultimate analyses, thermogravimetric analyses, and differential scanning calorimetry were conducted, along with a study of gas emissions and a statistical comparison of different varieties. From the results obtained, it is worth highlighting the low ash content in all the samples (between 5.55% and 8.42%) and high calorific values (higher than 17 MJ/kg in all cases), as well as optimal thermal results for all the samples studied in both pyrolysis and combustion processes. Significant differences were found between the different varieties; in particular, it was observed that the forage variety presented more optimal conditions for its application in both processes. This may represent a potential competitive advantage for the forage varieties.
