Environmental Burden of Diesel Engines: A Life-Cycle Assessment and the Imperative for Cleaner Alternatives.
Article in Global challenges (Hoboken, NJ), 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
Internal combustion engine (ICE) is still the major source of energy for transportation systems worldwide. However, their environmental impacts continue to be a major issue, especially in developing countries like India. Since there is a lack of environmental evaluation of ICE technologies under Indian operating conditions, this study presents a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a newly developed diesel engine under Indian operating conditions. The assessment follows the ISO 14040 framework and employs the ReCiPe Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) methodology across production, operation, and end-of-life (EoL) phases. The operational phase is considered the major contributor to environmental degradation, mainly because of the consumption of diesel fuel. When neat diesel is used as the fuel, the highest impact is observed for Climate Change Potential (CCP) with 363,513.60 kg CO
