Nanofibrillated collagen fiber networks for enhanced air purification.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Air filtration is essential for protecting human health, but commercial synthetic microfiber filters face challenges like complex manufacturing, poor biodegradability, limited biocidal properties, and reduced efficacy against volatile organic compounds and nanoscale particulates. Collagen fiber networks derived from animal hides offer a sustainable alternative due to their hierarchical structure and diverse surface functionalities. However, their thick fiber bundles (>5 μm) hinder filtration performance. Here we introduce a facile strategy combining physical processing and zwitterionic copolymer functionalization to disperse fibrils, followed by zirconium treatment for stabilization. The resulting filters, with finely dispersed nanofibrils (~120 nm) and increased exposure of functional groups, significantly enhance air purification, achieving 97% PM
