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

Efficient biomass fractionation is essential for enhancing resource efficiency in the circular bioeconomy. However, achieving rapid, effective fractionation while minimizing the use of non-recyclable chemicals remains challenging and also often yields low component purity. To circumvent these issues, an LiBr-assisted formic acid (LB-FA) system is developed that enables biomass fractionation within 10 min without auxiliary technologies. It is found that adding LiBr facilitates biomass swelling, improving liquid penetration and component-removal efficiency. Moreover, LiBr promotes the dissociation of formic acid, enhancing the removal of hemicellulose and lignin. The LB-FA system removed 96.0% of lignin and 99.6% of hemicellulose from poplar wood, yielding cellulose with 97.2% purity and lignin with 98.5% purity. The cellulose retained Iβ allomorphs, and enzymatic hydrolysis achieved over 90% glucose yield in 12 h. This strategy provides a rapid, sustainable route for producing high-purity biomass components, facilitating bioethanol production and other sustainable material development applications.
