Effect of calcium carbonate precipitate derived from sugar beet industry on the properties of poly (vinyl chloride) compounds.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The incorporation of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) waste from the sugar beet industry significantly altered the properties of the PVC matrix. Thermal stability improved markedly, evidenced by a reduction in weight loss (240-360 °C) from 58.88% (neat PVC) to 37% (40 wt% PCC). The flexural strength reached a maximum at 5 wt% PCC, representing a 35% improvement over the unfilled PVC. Conversely, this loading adversely affected elongation at break, tensile strength, and impact strength, reducing them by 71.57%, 10.84%, and 17.11%, respectively. Physical properties, such as specific gravity and water absorption, increased slightly with the PCC content. SEM analysis confirmed excellent PCC dispersion at lower loadings, which transitioned to particle agglomeration and void formation at higher concentrations, explaining the mechanical properties trends.
