Comprehensive study on gear oil modified with lignin-cellulose nanofibers: rheological and tribological response.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The tribological, rheological, and acoustic performance of gear oil dispersed with lignin-cellulose nanofibers (LCNFs) are examined. Samples were performed with loading content of 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0%. The morphological and structural characterization of the LCNFs was confirmed using AFM, SEM, XRD, and FT-IR evaluations. The results revealed a substantial reduction in COF and wear rate at best loading content, with 0.5% by weight LCNFs, by up to 42% and 25.5%, respectively. Vibration and sound pressure level measurements showed significant damping behavior, with reductions of 18-25% at low and optimal loading level. Surface analyses of worn specimens (3D topography and SEM) confirmed the formation of a protective LCNF tribo-film at optimal dispersion, while excessive loadings above 0.5% by weight LCNFs resulted in abrasive features associated with particle clustering. In summary, LCNFs seem to be a very promising and fundamental ingredient in gear oil. The evolution of highly effective and sustainable nano-lubricants is highlighted by the potential to improve dynamic response, lower wear and friction, and increase viscosity stability.
