Biphasic Solar Reforming of Lignin to Aromatics and CO for In Situ Carbonylation of Organics.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 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
Lignin is a large-scale, renewable carbon source that remains underutilized due to its complex polymeric structure. Photocatalytic conversion of lignin promises selective bond cleavage to yield functionalized products but is hindered by its strong light absorption. Herein, we report a biphasic photocatalytic system that avoids light competition and enables the generation of both CO and functionalized aromatics from Kraft lignin under visible light at ambient temperature and pressure. This system uses water-dispersed CdS quantum dots to photocatalyze the conversion of Kraft lignin's aldehyde and hydroxyl groups to CO via a decarbonylation mechanism. The biphasic system enables this biomass-derived CO to be used in situ for aminocarbonylation. Concurrent cleavage of the β-O-4 bonds in Kraft lignin releases functionalized aromatic products with 81% yield. This work demonstrates the simultaneous light-driven production of sustainable aromatics and one-pot utilization of lignin for carbonylation of organics via cascade reactions.
