1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The preparation of sustainable biophosphors exhibiting room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) for additive manufacturing presents both significant scientific promise and substantial synthetic challenges. To address this technological gap, with this research, we engineer CX-Wood using rational molecular design by grafting carboxyl-functional groups onto native lignocellulosic matrices, enabling direct ink writing (DIW) using our RTP wood composite. Structural characterization reveals that carboxylation induces (i) partial crystal lattice distortion in the cellulose microfibrils and (ii) enhances the hydrogen-bonding network density, collectively establishing a rigid supramolecular architecture conducive to triplet-state stabilization. This structural modification improves room-temperature phosphorescent performance. Crucially, the introduced carboxyl moieties simultaneously optimize the rheological behavior to yield an aqueous-based phosphorescent ink with exceptional print fidelity. Leveraging this dual functionality, we prepare architecturally complex 3D phosphorescent constructs exhibiting afterglow emission. This biomass-derived platform establishes a green model for manufacturing smart luminescent materials with tailored properties.
