Sustainable Utilization of Phoenix Date Palm Biomass via Extraction of Lignin Using Pyridinium-Based Protic Ionic Liquid.
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
Lignin is a renewable biopolymer widely available in industrial crops, yet its efficient separation and valorization remain challenging due to its heterogeneous structure derived from coniferyl, sinapyl, and p-coumaryl alcohol units. Its properties vary with the biomass type and extraction method. This study investigates lignin extraction from four Saudi date palm leaf varieties (Ajwa, Safawi, Amber, and Rabia) using a newly synthesized protic ionic liquid (PIL) composed of a pyridinium cation and formate anion. Extraction was carried out at temperatures ranging from 25 to 125 °C for 1 to 6 h. The PIL achieved high lignin recovery, up to 90%, under mild conditions (75 °C, 3 h), while also enabling subsequent cellulose pulp saccharification. In the second stage, extracted lignin samples were characterized using structural, thermal, and morphological analysis techniques in a comparative approach. It was concluded that PIL-treated lignin resulted in enhanced phenolic and aromatic contents with increased thermal stability, making it a suitable biofuel. The findings highlight date palm leaves as a low-cost lignin source suitable for pharmaceutical applications and the development of bionanocomposites with enhanced thermal performance.
