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

Grapevine shoots, a viticultural residue rich in cellulose (∼34%) and lignin (20-27%), were valorized through an eco-designed biorefinery process integrating autoclave-assisted pretreatment and organosolv extraction. This approach enabled the corecovery of cellulose and lignin under mild, sulfur-free conditions, followed by a chlorine-free bleaching that retained ∼7 wt % lignin within the cellulose. Rather than being removed, lignin was preserved as a natural additive for its antioxidant and UV-shielding functions, reducing the need for synthetic components. The lignin-containing cellulose was acetylated (DS ≈ 1.7) and plasticized with glycerol to produce biodegradable films. These films fully disintegrated under home composting within 8 weeks, outperforming commercial cellulose acetate. The process aligns with green chemistry principles and EU circular economy goals, offering a sustainable route to multifunctional bioplastics from agricultural waste.
