Degradable Polyurethane Foams Based on Amino Acid Phosphoramides (APtA).
Article in Polymers, 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
Soft polyurethane foams are commonly found in furniture, mattresses, shoes and soundproofing applications. These crosslinked foams are hard to recycle. This paper describes our approach of introducing chemical breakage points based on amino acid phosphoramidates (APtA) in the PUs' backbones. The APtA monomers are combined with PEG, PPG and pTHF-chains to achieve different monomer structures. We demonstrate the hydrolysis of these APtA monomers at neutral pH 7 and the mass loss of the foams. It is shown that after 70 days, more than 50% of the p-THF-APtA monomer and 35% of the PPG-APtA monomer have degraded. However, a contrary trend was observed for the foams, with only 2.5% mass loss for the p-THF-APtA foam, but 26% mass loss for the PPG-APtA foam. The foams were also characterized using compression measurements, revealing a stiffer appearance of the p-THF-APtA foam compared to the foams based on PEG and PPG. SEM images were taken before and after the degradation of the foams to show the difference in morphology.
