Electrochemical Synthesis of Isolated Fluoride Reagents from PFAS.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2026. 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
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of increasing concern due to their environmental persistence and adverse effects on health. The recovery of fluoride from the decomposition of concentrated sources of PFAS (e.g., refrigerants, protective coatings, and foams) enables a circular economy. Recent efforts have largely focused on one-pot, transfer fluorination strategies, with limited examples of forming isolable fluoride reagents, which represent the broadest opportunities for valorization. Here, we establish a direct electrochemical strategy to recycle nonpolymeric PFAS into a range of synthetically important fluoride reagents. The choice of electrolyte and solvent is critical in controlling whether fluoride or bifluoride ions are generated, enabling selective access to distinct reagents. These findings establish electrochemistry as a powerful and versatile platform for transforming environmentally persistent PFAS waste into valuable chemical resources.
