1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 growing demand for sustainable adhesives has increased interest in lignin as a renewable alternative to phenol in PF resins. In this study, lignins from hardwood, softwood, and bamboo were evaluated as partial replacements for phenol in plywood and paper panel applications. Softwood lignin exhibited the highest molecular weight and guaiacyl-rich structure, hardwood lignin contained more syringyl units, and bamboo lignin presented notable p-hydroxyphenyl content with minimal ash and sulfur. Incorporating up to 50% lignin increased resin viscosity and markedly shortened gel time from 136-152 s for neat PF resins to 58-139 s, depending on lignin type and resin formulation. Among the tested lignins, softwood lignin produced the strongest adhesives, whereas bamboo lignin resulted in the lowest formaldehyde emission (<0.6 mg/L). These findings demonstrate the feasibility of tailoring LPF resin performance by selecting lignin type.
