Polymer Sorting Through Fluorescence Spectra.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study identifies different polymers using their fluorescent data under various light wavelengths that ranged from 245 nm to 345 nm in 10 nm intervals. The primary goal of the proposed method is to select optimal wavelengths that can lead to the accurate identification of six polymers: polyamide 6 (PA6), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By examining the specific fluorescence emission patterns of these polymers, the study provides insight into how each material responds uniquely to different excitation light sources. The potential approach could streamline polymer identification in recycling applications or even in quality control and environmental monitoring, including microplastics. This approach could lead to improved accuracy in polymer classification, contributing to more efficient material sorting and processing.
