Synthesis of Epoxidized Soybean Oil as a Bio-Based Chain Extender for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate and Optimization of the Extrusion Process for Its Performance.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. 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
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), widely used in textiles and packaging, loses its mechanical strength during melt processing and recycling due to chain scission, resulting in reduced intrinsic viscosity (IV). Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO), a biobased and ecofriendly modifier, offers a sustainable alternative to petroleum-derived chain extenders (CEs) to recover the IV. This study explores the effect of ESBO on the IV and mechanical properties of recycled PET (r-PET) via reactive extrusion using a single screw extruder. Various ESBO concentrations were tested, and it was found that 2.0 wt % ESBO with a 10 min residence time (B
