5‑(Chloromethyl)furfural from Polycotton Waste Textile in a Biphasic System: Different Process Designs.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Due to underdeveloped waste management technologies for textile waste, 85 wt % ends up in either incineration plants or landfills. With our process, we are able to fully valorize polycotton waste, the largest fraction of textile waste, by separating both components. Cotton is converted into 5-(chloromethyl)-furfural (CMF) through a one-step batch process, using a biphasic system containing superconcentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) (44 wt %) and chlorobenzene. The reaction temperature, reaction time, stirring speed, effective cotton loading, and volume of the organic layer of the biphasic system were first optimized using a central composite design, rendering 91 °C, 1 h, effective 8.3 mg of cotton/mL HCl, and 4 mL of organic layer/mL HCl to be the (apparent) optimal reaction conditions, leading to a CMF yield of 62.6%, which was in line with the predicted outcome of the model. The effect of adjustments on process design in regard to process structure (one-step vs two-step) and process type (batch vs semicontinuous) was investigated. This resulted in a final CMF yield of 73.3% in the two-step semicontinuous process, a method suitable for large-scale textile valorization.
