Cellulose Nanocrystals as Nucleating Agents in Lignin-Based Rigid Polyurethane Foams.
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
This study investigates the incorporation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) into rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) derived from lignin polyol. CNC promoted cellular refinement consistent with a heterogeneous nucleation mechanism, reducing average cell size by up to 18% and improving cellular uniformity, particularly at 0.2% and 0.4% concentrations. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed hydrogen bonding between CNC hydroxyl groups and the polyurethane matrix. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed a shift in the temperature at 10% mass loss from 272 °C (control) to 282-285 °C (0.2-0.4% wt % CNC), while DSC showed an increase in glass transition temperature (
