Biochar and Natural Antioxidants as Components of Eco-Friendly Elastomer Composites.
Article in Polymers, 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
Modern trends in advanced material design increasingly emphasize sustainability and the use of naturally derived resources. One promising approach involves replacing synthetic additives with natural compounds that exhibit stabilizing properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of selected natural auxiliary substances-thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol), quercetin (3,3,4,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) and caffeic acid (3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoic acid)-on the properties of elastomeric composites based on natural rubber. Biochar was used as the filler in the composites, serving as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional carbon black. The evaluation included measurements of crosslink density, hardness, mechanical properties and microstructural analysis of the resulting materials. The samples were also subjected to accelerated aging under thermo-oxidative conditions and UV radiation to assess their resistance to degradation. For comparison, the commonly used synthetic antioxidant BHT (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol) was also analyzed. The results enabled the assessment of the potential of natural additives as environmentally friendly stabilizers in elastomeric systems, with respect to their effectiveness and impact on material durability.
