Can low-thickness, low-value mixed plastic waste be converted into petrochemical fuels on a large scale?
Article 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
Disposal of low-thickness, low-value mixed plastic waste is a global problem that experts are addressing through various waste-treatment technologies. Catalytic pyrolysis is one such technology for converting plastic waste into valuable petrochemical fuels. However, most researchers have focused on bench-scale experiments in controlled environments, which limits the technology's scale-up. In addition, most of the existing research studies examine either individual or 3-4 mixtures of virgin plastic waste streams, which may not accurately reflect the complexities of processing diverse, real-world mixed plastic waste. Hence, the current study aims to address the above issues by treating large-scale, low-value, low-thickness single-use plastic mixed waste, comprising filler-rich plastic bags, multi-layered plastics, and dairy product packaging,
