Valorization of Expanded Polystyrene by Embedding of High GFRP Loading Through Cold-Mixing Solvent-Assisted Process.

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 increasing accumulation of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) waste poses significant environmental challenges, calling for effective and scalable recycling strategies. In this work, a solvent-assisted cold mixing process was employed to incorporate very high amounts of GFRP (up to 75 wt%) into recycled expanded polystyrene (ePS). The composites were deeply characterized, with particular attention to the role of particle size distribution and filler content. The results demonstrated that GFRP granulometry played a key role in determining composite performance. Intermediate particle sizes (0.25 mm) provided the best balance between dispersion, interfacial interaction, and mechanical properties, whereas excessively fine fractions introduced defects and reduced impact resistance (from 0.7 to 2.0 kJ/m
