Simulation of liquid hydrocarbon production via n-tetradecane reforming: A renewable energy approach.
Article in PloS one, 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
Considering the current worldwide search for renewable energy, n-tetradecane has attracted attention as a candidate for a hydrogen energy carrier and more sighted for light hydrocarbon within the gasoline range of C5-C12. This study investigates the production of liquid hydrocarbons by n-tetradecane in two stages process: syngas production through reforming of n-tetradecane and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The temperature, oxygen-to-carbon (O2/C) ratio, reactor length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio, and steam-to-carbon (S/C) ratio are examined in this study as the parameters that influence the reforming of n-tetradecane and superior result of 800ºC, 0.356 O2/C, 6 L/D and 2.3 S/C were established to give high conversion and efficient production of syngas. While the yield of the C5+ hydrocarbon in the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactor increased with rising temperature up to 350°C, but the permissible temperature for process is 290°C, based on these, the temperature was set to optimize productivity and longevity of the catalyst. When using n-tetradecane as feed stock, high C5+ production was resulted because of its suited H2/CO ratio of 2.3. The techno-economic assessment highlights the process's viability at moderate scales, with economic performance strongly influenced by product price and energy integration.
