Valorisation of food industry waste into high-performance biochar for environmental applications.
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 4 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
Organic waste from the food industry can be thermochemically converted into valuable products, supporting the circular economy and reducing environmental and socio-economic impacts. This study explores the valorisation of food industry residues, such as rapeseed cake, maize cobs, and walnut shells, through slow pyrolysis at 600 °C under an inert atmosphere. The studied feedstocks were lignocellulosic materials with approximately 45% carbon content, but had different fibre contents, which subsequently affected the properties of the biochars. The highest char yield was observed for rapeseed cake (26%), followed by walnut shells (24%) and maize cobs (22%). Elemental analysis revealed that the carbon content in the biochars of maize cobs and walnut shells exceeded 80%, with a particularly significant surface area (356 m
