Multiscale Quantitative Rheological Analysis of Composition-Temperature Relationships in Borate-Guar Hydrogels.
Article in ACS applied polymer materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Borate-cross-linked guar gum gels exhibit complex viscoelasticity driven by reversible covalent interactions between borate ions and cis-diol groups. Despite their widespread industrial use, limited knowledge of their thermorheological behavior makes it difficult to predict their performance at high temperatures. Here, 0.50 wt % guar gum dispersions with borax-to-guar ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:8 (i.e., 0.5000-0.0625 wt % borax) were characterized from 25 to 140 °C using oscillatory rheometry. At 25 °C, gels displayed predominantly elastic behavior (
