Cellulose-xylan composite fibres as precursors for carbon fibres.
Article in RSC advances, 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
Carbon fibre reinforced composites are used to provide high-strength light-weight materials that are sought after in mobility applications to reduce weight and consequently fuel or energy consumption of the transportation vehicle. Cost and environmental considerations have resurged research on biobased precursors for carbon fibres (CFs) with cellulose being one of the most prominent examples. In this study we shed light on the purity requirements of the cellulose substrate. Thus far, most reports on lignocellulose-based CFs implement highly refined dissolving-grade pulp. To reduce the cost of the precursor fibres and their environmental footprint even further, less refined cellulose sources are desirable. The role of xylan on the properties of the precursor fibres and the carbonization behaviour of holocellulosic precursor fibres were studied. It was found that natively present hemicelluloses in paper-grade kraft pulp can be incorporated homogeneously into the cellulose matrix without impairing the fibre properties, and even showing a beneficial effect on the final carbon yield.
