Analyzing the potential of waste cooking oils as biolubricants for electric vehicles.
Article in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs) has pushed the search for new sustainable lubricants that can withstand relevant lubrication challenges, like high torque loads and stray currents in drivetrains, which can accelerate oxidation and increase component wear, posing a critical challenge for electric powertrain components. Conventional Automatic Transmission Fluids like ATF III and ATF V have shown different wear mechanisms and coefficient of friction (CoF) trends in the presence of simulated stray currents. While many studies have focused on vegetable oils as biobased oils, waste cooking oils (WCO) offer a more sustainable alternative, yet their performance under electrified conditions is yet to be explored. In this study, four WCO samples were collected from different sources and evaluated against regular soybean oil (RSO) through structural, physico-chemical, and tribological analysis under electrified and unelectrified sliding conditions. Structural analyses using FTIR,
