Nature-Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass.
Article in Chemical record (New York, N.Y.), 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
Forest overuse is widely recognized globally, yet in Japan, the underuse of secondary forests is increasingly degrading satoyama ecosystems. At the same time, electrochemical energy technologies remain strongly dependent on mined graphite and trace or precious metals. In this Personal Account, I examine whether sustainably managed satoyama biomass can serve as a locally available carbon feedstock for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Rather than surveying biomass utilization in general, I focus on the structure-property-performance relationships of wood-derived and satoyama-relevant carbons in batteries, supercapacitors, electrocatalysis, and bioelectrochemical systems. The available evidence indicates that this proposition is feasible, provided that its scope is clearly defined: underused satoyama biomass can already function effectively as activated carbons, hard carbons, graphitized carbons, and catalyst supports, although important bottlenecks remain in feedstock variability, volumetric performance, process standardization, and scale-up. By linking coppicing and thinning cycles with carbonization and device fabrication, this framework may reduce mining dependence, support biodiversity-oriented forest stewardship, and retain value within regional material cycles.
