1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Soybean oil, a sustainable and renewable resource, has gained increasing industrial relevance through its derivatives, such as acrylated soybean oil, which is now produced at significant commercial scales. In contrast, graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN), a metal-free polymeric semiconductor, remains unexplored in industrial polymer systems. This study explores the integration of graphitic carbon nitride into bio-based acrylic resins using a rapid UV-curing process at a belt speed of 1 m/min. The resulting nanocomposite films, incorporating 10% nanoparticle loading and with an average thickness of 200 μm, demonstrate promising photocatalytic properties with a bandgap of 2.7 eV. The photocatalytic performance of these films is thoroughly evaluated via dye degradation experiments, revealing enhanced surface-driven activity, particularly in alcohol-based media. While the hydrophobic nature of the films limits dye removal in aqueous environments (25% removal efficiency in 5 h), complete photodegradation of methylene blue is achieved in alcohol within 5 h. Moreover, the films maintain their photocatalytic efficiency over five cycles with no significant performance deprivation.
