Impact of Soybean Oil Epoxidation Degree on Hot-Melt Adhesives.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Replacing mineral oil (MO) in Hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesives (HM PSAs) with safer, greener, and more available plasticizerssuch as soybean oil (SO)is important given their broad consumption. Although vegetable oil (VO) exhibits no heat resistance, it can be chemically modified (e.g., epoxidized) to enhance this property (critical for HM PSAs). To this end, formulations containing MO and refined soybean oil (RSO) with epoxidation degrees (EDs) from 0 to 6.7% were compared. RSO in comparison to MO, reduced the adhesive's viscosity from 3998 ± 302 to 2580 ± 143 mPa.s and the softening point (SP) from 63.7 ± 0.8 to 45.6 ± 0.3 °C, which could optimize the applicability by reducing its melting/application temperature, with a positive impact on sustainability (reducing energy consumption). RSO and SO with 0, 2.0, and 3.7% EDs, in comparison to MO, showed characteristics compatible with freezer tapes and labels: higher tack (from 10.3 ± 1.3 to 11.4 ± 1.4, 11.8 ± 1.2, and 12.7 ± 0.9 N, respectively), reduced glass transition
