Effect of Microwave Application on the Xylan Extraction Yield from Agri-Waste Corncob for Sustainable Biomass Valorization: A Response Surface Methodology Optimization and Extract Characterization.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 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 global demand for sustainable resources highlights agricultural wastes for their valuable biomass content. Xylan, abundant in nature, offers biomedical applications in drug delivery, wound healing, and biodegradable food coatings. This study is the first in the literature to investigate the effect of microwaves on xylan extraction. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of microwave application and determine the purity of the extraction outcomes in terms of xylan content. The microwave-assisted extractions were performed with two different diluted alkali solutions, potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and corncob was the biomass source for xylan. Experiments were designed with response surface methodology (RSM) to find the optimum conditions. Microwave energy demonstrated a statistically significant impact on extraction efficiency and yield (
