Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycolysis: Kinetic Modeling and Validation.
Article in Polymers, 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
In this study, a comprehensive investigation of PET glycolysis has been performed. The research included the development of analytical techniques, experiments with different reactor systems, and the development of mathematical models to understand the kinetics of the process. Quantitative HPLC analysis was adopted and optimized for the detection of BHET, while the size-exclusion chromatography method was developed to determine the molecular weight distribution of solid PET residues. Over 33 experiments were performed with magnetically coupled shaft-stirred Amar reactors, resulting in more than 300 experimentally determined BHET concentration points at various reaction times, temperatures, catalyst concentrations, and ethylene glycol-to-PET ratios. Afterwards, a kinetic model was developed to describe the observed phenomena with a validation step.
