Formulations, Processing, and Application of Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/Thermoplastic Starch Blends: A Review.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 concern for the environment and sustainability has intensified the search for alternative materials to replace non-degradable plastics. Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a bioplastic that has been extensively studied due to its excellent mechanical properties, which are similar to those of low-density poly(ethylene) (LDPE). However, the high cost of this polymer still hinders its wider application. Among the different approaches that have been studied, blending PBAT with thermoplastic starch (TPS) could be an interesting solution to reduce the cost of the material and increase the degradability of the blends. This review covers most of the work reported in recent years on PBAT/TPS blends, including the effects of starch plasticizers, starch modifications, processing methods, use of chain extenders, various compatibilizers, and additives used for different applications.
