Hornification of Softwood and Hardwood Pulps Correlating with a Decrease in Accessible Surfaces.
Article in ACS omega, 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
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hornification and the accessible surface area for cellulosic pulps in order to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms behind hornification. Hardwood and softwood paper grades were hornified to varying degrees by sequential high-temperature drying cycles, and the degree of hornification was assessed by water retention, which was shown to decrease linearly and to correlate closely with accessible surface areas measured by xyloglucan adsorption for both hardwood and softwood pulps. The relationship between hornification ratios and accessible surfaces for xyloglucan adsorption shows different linear relationships above and below 100 °C, supporting the hypothesis of different hornification mechanisms at different temperatures shown in the previous literature. Furthermore, hornification was shown to cause a reduction in fiber width for softwood pulps and a reduction in fiber length for hardwood fibers.
