Article in Polymers, 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 study explores the potential of a bio-based thermosetting adhesive system incorporating recycled fillers to enhance structural bonding applications while promoting sustainability. Diglycidylether of vanillyl alcohol (DGEVA) was selected as the resin matrix due to its favorable thermomechanical properties and low moisture absorption. To improve mechanical performance and support circular economy principles, recycled carbon fibers (RCFs) and mineral wool (MW) were integrated into the adhesive formulation in varying proportions (10, 30, and 50 phr). A cationic thermal initiator, ytterbium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (YTT), was used to permit polymerization. Comprehensive characterization was performed to assess the curing behavior, thermal stability, and mechanical performance of the adhesive. FTIR spectroscopy monitored the polymerization process, while DSC and dynamic DSC provided insights into reaction kinetics, including activation energy, and curing rates. The mechanical and thermomechanical properties were evaluated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and shear lap testing on bonded joints. Additionally, SEM imaging was employed to examine fillers' morphology and joint interfaces. The results indicated that increasing filler content slowed polymerization and raised activation energy but still permitted high conversion rates. Both RCF- and MW-containing formulations exhibited improved stiffness and adhesion strength, particularly in CMC joints. These findings suggest that DGEVA-based adhesives reinforced with recycled fillers offer a viable and sustainable alternative for structural bonding, contributing to waste valorization and green material development in engineering applications.
