1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Decarboxylation is an emerging strategy to remediate plastic waste. Herein, we discuss recent advances that leverage activated ester or carboxylic acid decarboxylation to deconstruct polymers. Specifically, we address state-of-the-art strategies that rely on thermolytic, photolytic, or electrolytic stimuli to induce decarboxylation. Throughout, we highlight the key advances of each report and provide our insight on future directions for the field. We anticipate that continued developments in the field will lead to strategies for the controlled deconstruction of versatile polymeric materials.
