Self-Seeded Nucleation of PET in a Benign Solvent Yields a High Modulus Aerogel With Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity.
Article in Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.), 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
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is the most recycled plastic; however, upcycling of this commodity polymer to value-added products has remained limited. Recent attempts to produce PET aerogels have relied on toxic solvents, chemical conversions and cross-linking, and reinforcement to achieve useful mechanical performance. Now, using a new benign solvent (1,3-diphenylacetone), we report a simple, safe, and sustainable dissolution and gelation procedure to convert waste PET into low density, monolithic aerogels with high mechanical strength (E = 20 ± 2 MPa) and remarkably low thermal conductivity (k = 21.9 to 28.9 mW m
