Preparation of Agrowaste-Based Nanocellulose by NaOH-Assisted Ball Milling Technique: Influence of Component Intervention.
Article in Gels (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
Pineapple peel cellulose nanofibrils (PCNFs) were facilely prepared by the ball milling method assisted by alkali solution (3 wt% NaOH) and a wet grinding medium, using various treated pineapple peels (hot water treatment (WT), bleaching treatment (BT), alkaline treatment (AT), and baleaching-alkaline treatment (ABT)) as raw materials. The structure of the obtained PCNFs (i.e., WT-PCNF, BT-PCNF, AT-PCNF, and ABT-PCNF) was characterized to analyze the influence of component intervention. The results indicated that NaOH-assisted ball milling did not change the crystal structure of cellulose, and the yield and thermal stability of the PCNFs was improved. The average diameters of WT-PCNF, BT-PCNF, AT-PCNF, and ABT-PCNF were 24.16, 21.53, 23.04, and 19.46 nm, respectively, in which BT-PCNF and ABT-PCNF exhibited a higher defibrillating degree and smaller diameter. Particularly, NaOH-assisted ball milling can promote the removal of non-cellulose components. The viscosity and modulus of BT-PCNF were relatively higher due to the presence of residual hemicellulose as a natural linker of fibers. The current research provides insights for simplifying the preparation and functionalization of nanocellulose.
