Enhancing Polylactic Acid Films With Polyethylene Glycol-Based Plasticizers: A Reactive Extrusion Approach.
Article in Macromolecular rapid communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The enhancement of polylactic acid (PLA) films using polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based plasticizers through reactive extrusion, employing dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a cross-linking agent is studied in this work. Incorporating PEG plasticizers into PLA substantially raises its elongation at break, from 12.0% in neat PLA to 61.3%, while preserving satisfactory tensile strength. This improvement broadens the industrial applicability of PLA; however, it should be noted that the plasticizers exhibit a tendency to migrate. The reactive extrusion process reduces plasticizer migration, lowering values from 140.3 mg kg
