Multiscale characterization of commercial and landfill-recovered plastics in Songkhla province, Thailand.
Article in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 provides a comprehensive assessment of five types of plastics: commercial polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and landfill-derived polyethylene [PE (LF)] from Songkhla Province, Thailand. PE (LF) was naturally exposed to environmental conditions. Through advanced multiscale characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile testing, and Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), it was found that prolonged exposure to landfill conditions causes substantial physical, mechanical, and chemical degradation in PE (LF), as evidenced by extensive surface cracks, reduced tensile strength (below 10 MPa), and the formation of oxidative functional groups (C[double bond, length as m-dash]O and -OH). In contrast, commercial plastics maintain superior stability and mechanical integrity. Despite this degradation, PE (LF) retains significant potential for energy recovery
