Multiparameter Effect Study on Lactose and Whey Permeate Conversion to Lactic Acid and HMF Catalysed by Erbium.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Making 1 kt of cheese produces 9 kt of cheese whey permeate, a waste with 5% lactose, which is either discarded or dried for animal feed. One pathway to add value to this waste is to convert it to lactic acid (LA), a monomer for polylactic acid, the largest bioplastic produced in the world. Lactose hydrolyses to glucose and galactose. While Brønsted acidity enhances lactose hydrolysis, Lewis acidity favours the formation of lactic acid. For the first time, we tested both industrial whey permeate and purified lactose as feedstocks for LA over a heterogeneous catalyst-Er
