Introducing the carbon footprint reduction index (CaFRI) as a software-supported tool for greener laboratories in chemical analysis.
Article in BMC chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
Carbon Footprint Reduction Index (CaFRI) has been presented as a newly developed web tool designed to assess and enhance the sustainability of analytical methods, with a focus on estimating greenhouse gas emissions (available at bit.ly/CaFRI ). While many tools exist for evaluating greenness, none specifically address the carbon footprint of laboratory procedures. CaFRI fills this gap by providing a standardized approach that predicts the effectiveness of carbon footprint reduction strategies. It assigns a numerical rating based on direct CO
