1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Mesoporous materials are well suited as supports for heterogeneous catalysis because they facilitate the access and mobility of large molecules, thereby improving yields across a range of chemical reactions. Among these, mesoporous carbons can be advantageously synthesized from biobased sources and further functionalized for use as acid catalysts in esterification reactions. This work focuses on the production of an esterification catalyst based on starch-derived mesoporous carbon (Starbon), using cassava starch as the raw material, and compares its performance with that of a conventional corn starch-based (Hylon VII) Starbon. The catalysts were prepared via gelatinization in water, retrogradation, solvent exchange with t-butanol, freeze-drying, and carbonization of expanded starch at 450 °C, followed by sulfonation with sulfuric acid. The resulting cassava-derived Starbon exhibited a surface area of 263 m
