Optimising Fully rPET-Sourced Aerogel Production Using a Sustainable Dissolution-Precipitation Approach.
Article in Gels (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
Aerogels were produced exclusively from recycled plastic bottles of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) by optimising a dissolution-precipitation process at room temperature and applying a product design strategy to improve their sustainability. Using a design of experiments methodology, the systematic assessment of the influence of different factors, namely rPET concentration, co-solvent ratio, and non-solvent quantity, on the key properties of rPET aerogel, namely bulk density, thermal conductivity, and mechanical resistance, was performed. The understanding of the significance of each parameter and the optimisation of a desirability function offered reliable optimum results for the adjustment of the experimental procedure for the reduction in the volume of the most critical solvent, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), by 42.5%. The observed bulk density values were excellent, down to 110 kg·m
