Performance and emission interaction analysis of biodiesel-diesel blends with CeO₂ nanoparticles and diethyl ether in a compression ignition engine.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 aimed to evaluate the effect of adding 75 ppm cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) with 2% diethyl ether (DEE) to castor biodiesel diesel blends on the performance and emissions of a single-cylinder, four-stroke CI engine operated at 80% load across 1700–3000 rpm, revealing that the nano-additive improved brake torque, brake power, thermal efficiency, and reduced carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and soot emissions, with only marginal changes in nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to blends without CeO₂. The results indicate that the addition of CeO2 NPs led to an increase in brake torque to 15.5 Nm (95% CI: 15.0–16.0 Nm) and brake power to 3.7 kW (95% CI: 3.6–3.8 kW). Furthermore, BSFC decreased to 250 g/kWh at (95% confidence interval (CI): 240–260 g/kWh), enhancing thermal efficiency to 38% (95% CI: 37–39%). Emission analysis revealed a reduction in CO levels to 0.425%V (95% CI: 0.400–0.450%V), HC emissions to 47.5 ppm (95% CI: 45.0–50.0 ppm), and NOx emissions to 80 ppm (95% CI: 75–85 ppm). These findings demonstrate the potential of CeO2 NPs to enhance engine efficiency while reducing harmful emissions, making them a promising candidate for cleaner combustion technologies.
