Sustainable Agriculture Solutions: Biodegradable Coatings for Enhanced-Efficiency Fertilizers Using Cellulose and Lignin.
Review in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 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
Current challenges in sustainable development and environmental protection are driving scientists and engineers to innovate and mitigate the negative impact of human activities on ecosystems. Strict legal requirements in the European Union (EU) underscore the need for changes to materials used in fertilizers because all components must be biodegradable by July 2024. The EU has published new guidelines for biodegradable materials based on ISO 17556, which assesses degradability in soil. One of the main directions to meet these expectations is the use of enhanced-efficiency fertilizers made from biodegradable materials. This review critically analyses recent advances in using natural raw materials as mineral fertilizer coatings, addressing a significant gap in the evaluation of their commercial viability. The properties of cellulose and lignin as coating materials and their modifications are discussed, including cellulose acetate, ethylcellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, and phenolated and oxypropylated lignin. These findings provide practical guidance for fertilizer manufacturers seeking to comply with upcoming regulations while maintaining product efficacy.
