Toward High-Value Circular Pathways for Polymer Waste: Process-Structure-Property Strategies in Mechanical Recycling, Filament Re-Extrusion, and Additive Manufacturing.
Review in Polymers, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The global polymer waste burden has catalyzed a shift from linear "production-use-disposal" systems to circular models that prioritize recycling, reuse, and value retention. This article proposes an integrated, technology-ready roadmap for mechanical recycling and reuse of commodity and bio-based polymers via filament re-extrusion and Additive Manufacturing (AM). Building upon recent findings on performance envelopes of virgin vs. recycled Polylactic Acid (PLA) filaments processed by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), process parameter sensitivities (layer height, infill density) and their statistical optimization, and functional reinforcement routes (aluminum: Al, alumina: Al
