Comparative analysis of physical, morphological, tensile and thermal stability characteristics of raw and alkali treated novel Tinospora cordifolia natural fiber.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This research paper presents comparative analysis of morphological, physical, tensile and thermal properties of raw and NaOH treated natural fiber extracted from the stems of Tinospora cordifolia herbaceous vine. Diameter & density measurements, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, single fiber tensile tests and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were carried out. The diameter reduced and density increased post treatment. SEM images revealed the removal of non-cellulosic contents, finer fibrillation, more clear hexagonal structure and formation of pores & voids post treatment. The Crystalline Index (C.I) and Crystallite Size (C.S) obtained from the XRD spectra enhanced after treatment which is evident from the absence of amorphous shoulders/bumps. FTIR analysis have revealed the removal of constituents such as hemicellulose, lignin and wax. The tensile strength enhanced, Young's modulus and percent elongation at break reduced post treatment. The thermal stability enhanced; however, the maximum degradation showed a slight reduction.
