1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 chemically modified ammonium lignosulfonate (ALS) powders with carboxylic acids such as, oleic (OA) and lactic acid (LA) and γ-butyrolactone (BL) under dielectric barrier plasma discharge (DBD) have been characterized by average molecular weight and particle size determinations, morphology examination by optical and electronic microscopy (SEM), the study of the thermal properties by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and antioxidant activity tests by DPPH method. The thermal characterization of the modified lignosulfonates reveals their improved thermal stability comparatively with ALS. It has been established that the obtained microparticles are aggregates of particles, covered by modified polymer and exhibit a particular behavior depending on the chemical structure of the used modifier, leading to multifunctional active lignin-based products with better homogeneity. By surface modification, the antioxidant capacity of modified lignosulfonate powders has been maintained.
