Bio-Based Grease from Agricultural Waste: Modified Cellulose from Corn Stover for Sustainable Lubrication.
Article in Materials (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
In this study, a green lubricating grease was prepared based on cellulose and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO). The cellulose extracted from the corn stover was functionalized using diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), which enhances its compatibility and thickening ability in non-polar oil, and subsequently dispersed in ESO to form a stable gel-like bio-based grease. The functionalized surface of cellulose was characterized by FTIR, SEM, and XRD. And the rheological and tribological characteristics of the prepared bio-based grease were discussed. The superior lubricity and anti-wear properties of our bio-based grease are demonstrated by its lower friction and diminished wear relative to commercial lithium-based formulations. This work provides practical guidance for designing environmentally friendly grease for sustainable lubrication.
