Single-pot mechanochemically-enabled fluorine atom closed-loop economy using PFASs as fluorinating agents.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 (PFASs), also known as "forever chemicals", pose an increasing threat to the environment and human health. Despite recent advancements in PFASs destruction, the recycling processes for such molecules remain limited to methods using high-temperatures or strong reducing agents. Sustainable degradation methods for PFASs, along with the subsequent utilization or recycling of the resulting fluorides, are indeed highly beneficial. In this study, we present a user-friendly, single-pot mechanochemical defluorination approach for fluorine transfer from PFASs to organic molecules. The high efficiency of this mechanochemical system obviates subsequent purification steps, requiring only minimal solvent filtration, even on a decagram scale. Furthermore, this strategy can be extended to the defluorination of everyday fluoroplastic and fluorinated polymers, such as PVDF membranes, pipes, and PTFE, thus addressing a critical challenge in sustainably breaking down persistent and environmentally harmful "forever chemicals".
