Effect of surface treatment on physico-mechanical properties of bagasse fiber reinforced biocomposites and their applications: a critical review.
Review in RSC advances, 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
In response to rising environmental concerns, research into biodegradable composites as long-term alternatives to synthetic plastics has advanced. This review focuses on important problems associated with bagasse fiber surface treatment, thermoplastic and thermoset resin reinforcement, and the usage of bagasse fiber reinforced composites in various sectors. The surface treatment of the fiber improved its compatibility, allowing the production of thermoplastic matrix-based biocomposites that adhere to green chemistry principles. These composites demonstrated promising mechanical properties, with tensile strength ranging from 4-85 MPa and flexural strength in the range of 26.2-210 MPa. They exhibit moderate hydrophobicity, absorbing 10-25% water after 24 hours, and maintain thermal stability up to 250 °C. Bagasse fiber reinforced composites are feasible for modern engineering applications and other industrial uses because of these qualities. This study highlights fiber surface treatment as a workable, low-impact method for waste valorization in addition to addressing current performance and environmental deficiencies. The review concludes by examining various product uses, present issues, and potential directions for the development of environmentally friendly composite technology.
