1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Biomass is the only abundant and concentrated carbon source for renewable fuels and chemicals. Among biomass platform molecules, γ-valerolactone (GVL) has a wide range of applications. Supported Ru catalysts show the most promising catalytic performance in the selective hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to GVL and attract much research in recent years. In this article, recent advances in the synthesis of GVL from biomass-derived LA by hydrogenation are discussed. The routes and methods for the preparation of GVL by selective hydrogenation of LA are summarized focusing on the different supports (carbon, oxides, and others) by comparing the differences of catalytic systems. Emerging novel catalyst design strategies and auxiliary reaction processes (microwave-assisted catalysis and
