Optimization of Celery Tail Waste-Based Hydrogels and Application in Soil Water Retention.
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In order to meet the demand for coordinated development of agricultural waste utilization and water-saving agriculture, this study utilized waste celery tailings (CT) to make a super-absorbent hydrogel by chemical cross-linking. The hydrogel was optimized and screened. The study demonstrated the optimal CT-gel synthesis method: 7.5 wt% CT, 0.05 wt% MBA cross-linker, and 70 °C for 2 h. The optimized gel had a water absorption of 708 g/g and a water retention of more than 20% at 25 °C on day 10. The soil water retention of the CT-gel increased with time and dosage. In sandy soils, 0.6% CT-gel was most effective. The pot experiment showed that 2% of the gel significantly increased the height and growth rate of radish seedlings. This study effectively utilized various components of CT and provided a scalable approach for converting agricultural waste into functional materials, which is valuable for arid soil improvement and sustainable agriculture.
