Multifunctional PCL/Lignin-PCL Composite Films for Delivery of Atrazine and Metribuzin for Sustainable Agriculture Applications.

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
Sustainable agriculture calls for the development of eco-friendly materials that possess desired properties and functionalities. In this study, the effect of incorporating lignin-grafted poly-(ε-caprolactone) (LN-PCL) into a PCL matrix was evaluated. LN-PCL was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP), yielding polymers with varying PCL degrees of polymerization (DP 26-101) and amphiphilic properties. Incorporating LN-PCL into PCL films enhanced hydrogen bonding, crystallinity, and doubled Young's modulus. SEM analysis showed smoother surfaces with higher DPs, while lower DPs reduced the contact angle from 78° to 68°. LN-PCL films absorbed >98% UVAB and >94% UVC light regardless of DP and degraded within 30 days. Release studies indicated controlled release rates of ATZ (<16%) and MTZ (46%) over 10 weeks. Overall, the UV protection, surface, mechanical, and controlled release properties of the LN-PCL/PCL films support the potential of these films as a carrier for chemicals with applicability in agriculture.
