Article in BMC chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The goal of this work is to prevent environmental pollution resulted from burned agriculture waste, offering a pathway with the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions compared to direct combustion of sugarcane bagasse. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are produced by acid hydrolyzing cellulose obtained from sugarcane bagasse. It serves as a reinforcing filler within the ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber matrix. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to examine morphology, thermal properties and crystallinity respectively. The empirical crystallinity (LOI) and average hydrogen bond strength (MHBS) were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). It was discovered that (CNC) is lower than CNC for both LOI and MHBS, demonstrating the breakdown of cellulose into CNCs. Two roll-mill was used to prepare EPDM/cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) nanocomposites. Two to ten parts of CNC per hundred rubbers were used. Curing characteristics, mechanical testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), equilibrium swelling, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to assess the EPDM/(CNC) nanocomposites. SEM pictures, show that some clumping, particularly at higher percentages of (CNC), and a uniform dispersion of (CNC) at 8 phr. It has been demonstrated that when the loading of CNCs increases, the cure time lowers and cure rate index increased, simulating a shorter industrial production cycle. In comparison to EPDM at 8 phr (CNC) loading, Additionally, the results showed an increase in tensile strength from 2.68 to 10.82 MPa i.e. increased by 403.7% and increasing in elongation at break by 233.47%. Also the hardness increased to about 83.33%. The modulus at 50, 100, and 200%, as well as a decrease in equilibrium swelling that confirm the mechanical testing. So, the prepared (CNC) may be enhanced the mechanical properties of the evaluated nanocomposites comparing to EPDM vulcanizates free.
