Bio-Based Polyurethane Foams: Feedstocks, Synthesis, and Applications.
Review in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Polyurethanes (PUs) are extremely versatile materials used across different industries. Traditionally, they are synthesized by reacting polyols and isocyanates, both of which are petroleum-derived reagents. In response to the demand for more eco-friendly materials, research has increasingly focused on developing new routes for PU synthesis using renewable feedstocks. While substituting isocyanates remains a greater challenge, replacing fossil-based polyols with bio-based alternatives is now a promising strategy. This review explores the main natural sources and their transformations into bio-polyols, the incorporation of bio-fillers into PU formulations, and the production of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs). Additionally, the study summarizes the growing body of research that has reported successful outcomes using bio-polyols in PU foams for distinct applications.
