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

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is an effective technique that enables lignin depolymerization into aromatic monomers while preserving cellulose for downstream valorization. However, the typically prolonged reaction durations (>3 h) required for conventional RCF, stemming from slow kinetics of lignin extraction and depolymerization, impeding its industrial scalability. This study systematically investigated solvent composition, acid concentration, and reaction parameters to accelerate RCF kinetics and modulate monomer distribution. Through rapid benchmark reactions measured immediately at target temperature (0 h) using Ni/C, we demonstrated that a phosphoric acid-assisted RCF process in ethanol-water solvent achieves efficient lignin depolymerization. Remarkably, by finely tuning the acid concentration in the reaction system, this approach achieved a high monomer yield of 31% at 0 h, with a remarkably high production efficiency of 3.44 mg monomers per g lignin per min, exceeding most previously reported rates. Time course analysis further established that precise acid tuning and identifying the optimal temporal window are critical for maximizing monomer yield while preserving carbohydrates. Under optimized conditions employing 0.3 wt.‰ H
