Ozonolysis of Lignin: From Extensive Degradation to Selective Ring-Opening Oxidation.
Review in ChemSusChem, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Despite its potential as a renewable feedstock, lignin, a major component of plant cell walls and a by-product of the pulp and paper industry, has long been underutilized. Historically, pulp mills employed ozonolysis, a powerful oxidative process, to delignify cellulosic fibers and break down lignin. The ability of this technique to modify lignin structures has attracted attention in recent years, creating opportunities for the development of novel lignin-based materials with improved functions. This review revisits the use of ozone as a bleaching agent and bridges its historical role in pulp processing with its emerging potential as a selective oxidative tool for lignin modification in materials chemistry. We discuss the fundamental chemical processes, significant developments in ozonolysis technology, and its potential to functionalize sustainable biomaterials. We also give our perspectives on the present obstacles and potential opportunities for ozonolysis optimization in lignin valorization.
