High-Shear Mixing-Assisted Esterification of Lauric Acid to Produce Value-Added Products and Intermediaries: Effect of the Alcohol Structure.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This paper describes the benefits of incorporating the high-shear mixing (HSM) technology to intensify the homogeneous acid-catalyzed esterification of lauric acid (LA) with a set of alcohols having different chain lengths and branching degrees to produce lauric acid alkyl esters, as a sustainable alternative for producing diverse products (cosmetics, diesel fuel, cetane improvers, and chemical intermediaries). To elucidate the effect of the alcohol structure, the esterification reaction is conducted in the liquid phase at 60 °C, with an alcohol-to-LA molar ratio of 13:1 and 500 rpm for 12 min, using sulfuric acid as the catalyst. The HSM-assisted esterification requires only 12 min to suffice to convert from 88.2 to 93.6% fed LA and from 16.3 to 90.7% fed LA when reacting with linear and branched alcohols, respectively. LA conversion is generally low when using relatively simple and branched alcohols (
