Silicate-Enabled Mechanochemical Mineralization of Polymeric and Nonpolymeric PFAS into Sodium Fluoride.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 (PFAS) are persistent environmental pollutants, some associated with detrimental impacts on human health upon chronic exposure. Many processes have been reported to destroy PFAS, although high-temperature thermal methods such as incineration or pyrolysis are still the most commonly used for bulk waste. Herein, we report a highly effective mechanochemical process designed to destroy polymeric and nonpolymeric PFAS with recovery of fluorine as NaF, a salt endorsed by international organizations for public oral health. The process consists of ball milling PFAS with commercially available sodium silicate, an inexpensive and easy-to-handle reagent found to be superior to sodium phosphate or carbonate. This approach represents a promising step toward remediating the global PFAS crisis with a circular fluorine economy in mind.
