Advances in sustainable polyolefins: synthesis, chemical transformation and recycling.
Review in National science review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Polyolefins dominate global plastic production due to their cost-effectiveness and versatile performance, yet their environmental persistence and low recycling pose critical challenges to sustainability. Conventional recycling methods of inert native polyolefins face fundamental limitations, including toxic byproduct generation and energy-intensive processes. This review examines advances in sustainable polyolefins that bear weak bonds in terms of synthesis, chemical transformation and recycling. By incorporating cleavable bonds into the polymer backbone, traditionally persistent polyolefins retain essential mechanical properties while enabling designed deconstruction under mild conditions. We critically unify advances across three aspects: synthetic approaches for weak-bond integration; polyolefin main-chain postmodification and transformation; chemical recycling of polyolefin. Recent breakthroughs demonstrate viable routes to sustainable polyolefins. Challenges in structure-property-degradability balancing are analysed, with future directions emphasizing highly controlled degradation, backbone structure optimization and precise control of the polymer-chain structure. This paradigm shift toward degradable-by-design polyolefins offers a roadmap to decouple plastic production from fossil dependence while addressing global plastic recycling.
