Crystallization Behavior of Hydroxypivalic Acid Neopentyl Glycol Ester.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Achieving high-purity separation of hydroxypivalic acid neopentyl glycol ester (HPN) requires a detailed understanding of its crystallization behavior, thermodynamic phase relationships, and crystal morphology. Hydroxypivalic acid neopentyl glycol ester (HPN), a byproduct of neopentyl glycol (NPG) synthesis, contains residual NPG as a major impurity, rendering its purification challenging. In this study, the crystallization behavior and structural properties of HPN were systematically examined to establish an effective purification strategy. Solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE) data for the HPN-NPG, HPN-water system was experimentally obtained and thermodynamically modeled to identify favorable crystallization conditions. Molecular-level crystal morphology was investigated through the Bravais-Friedel-Donnay-Harker (BFDH) method and the attachment energy (AE) model, supported by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical microscopy. Furthermore, adsorption-annealing simulations were conducted to evaluate the influence of water and NPG on the crystal surface. The predicted morphology exhibited strong agreement with experimental observations, and both impurities were found to exert minimal impact on the dominant crystal habit. These findings provide an integrated thermodynamic and morphological framework for the design of high-purity crystallization processes of HPN.
