Biodegradable and Chemically Recyclable Thermoplastic Elastomers Prepared by Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclic Monomers.
Review in Polymer science & technology (Washington, D.C.), 2025. 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
The large production and improper disposal of conventional polymer materials have led to the continuous depletion of petroleum resources and severe environmental pollution, necessitating the advancement of a sustainable and circular polymer economy. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), as a type of important polymer materials, have been used in a wide range of applications but generally consist of non-degradable and non-renewable styrenic block copolymers. In recent years, sustainable aliphatic block copolyester-based TPEs that are derived from various cyclic monomers have undergone explosive growth due to their advantages of potential biodegradability, good mechanical properties, and remarkable elasticity. This Review underscores recent advancements of sustainable aliphatic block copolyester-based TPEs by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic monomers, emphasizing their preparation and the discussion of the relationship between structure and property. In particular, chemically recyclable TPEs that have emerged recently will be highlighted. Furthermore, the current challenges and possible future directions for developing sustainable TPEs are discussed to foster a more circular polymer economy.
