Addressing microwave irradiation for the facile preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose.
Article in MethodsX, 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
This work presents a microwave-assisted technique for the preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). The method involves a sequence of controlled chemical treatments, comprises of alkaline delignification (2 % w/v NaOH), chlorine-free bleaching (2 wt% H₂O₂) and an acid hydrolysis step (50 wt% H₂SO₄). Each treatment is precisely outlined, with a clear focus on the underlying objectives, procedure, key observations and the rationale for specific conditions, to ensure reproducibility of the experimental design. The technique is validated through comprehensive characterization, including scanning electron microscopy (nano-whisker shape), transmission electron microscopy (average length = 264.35 nm, diameter = 25.26 nm and aspect ratio = 10.47), X-ray diffraction (
