High-Purity Biomass-Derived Synthetic Graphite: Catalyst-Free Industrial Synthesis and Applications.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
To support efforts on the graphite industry's defossilization, the pursuit of more sustainable options for synthetic graphite might be in contrast with the high requirements for purity, quantity, and quality of graphite materials. The catalyst-free graphitization of pyrolyzed biomass residues into a synthetic graphite is presented. The resulting biomass-derived graphite is characterized by high purity (>99.9%), high crystallinity with a graphitization degree of >91%, and exhibits electrical and thermal conductivity similar to fossil-based synthetic graphites. Material characterization and application data confirm various possible applications, namely in carbon brushes for electric motors and polymer bipolar plates for fuel cells. Since biomass, as called nongraphitizable carbon, is used as a raw material, the graphitization mechanism in the absence of a metal catalyst is proposed and discussed. The reported process and preparation of biomass-derived graphite are confirmed at the industrial scale and thus provide a more sustainable alternative to fossil-based synthetic graphites.
