Evaluating Sustainable Alternatives to Conventional Reduction Clearing in Polyester Dyeing.
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
The increasing awareness and growing environmental consciousness have accelerated the shift toward the adoption of sustainable materials and practices across various industries, including textile wet processing. Although polyester is the most widely used fiber, its postdyeing treatments, especially reduction clearing, remain environmentally harmful. This study addresses these challenges by comparing green alternative and conventional clearing agents to reduce the ecological impact of polyester processing. This study compares the effectiveness of conventional and green alternative agents for reduction clearing (RC) of polyester fabrics, focusing on both performance and environmental impact. Filament and micro polyester fabrics were dyed at two shade levels (4 and 7%) with red dye and treated using conventional sodium hydrosulphite and green alternatives Mega Clear, Prime Cleaner, and Sera Fast. To comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and sustainability of each method color strength, color fastness to washing and rubbing, BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) were performed. Results showed the greatest color strength reduction in hydrosulphite-treated samples, with minimal loss in Mega Clear.
