Depolymerized Poly(ethylene-2,5-furanoate) as a Sustainable Feedstock for Biobased Unsaturated Polyester Resins.
Article in Macromolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study describes the chemical upcycling of poly-(ethylene-2,5-furanoate) (PEF) waste into biobased thermosetting materials. High molar-mass PEF of intrinsic viscosity of 1.04 dL/g, serving as a model of postconsumer PEF, was synthesized by melt polymerization followed by solid-state polymerization. After characterization, PEF was depolymerized by glycolysis to give a mixture of hydroxy-terminated oligomers suitable as a raw material for the production of styrene-free unsaturated polyester resins. It was exemplified in a series of formulations that use biobased itaconic acid as a source of polyester unsaturation and biobased dimethyl itaconate as a reactive diluent. Mechanical and thermoanalytic testing of the cured formulations indicates that biobased materials produced in this way can serve as an equal substitute for fossil-based polyester resins currently used in the industry.
