Mechanically Robust Biopolymer Optical Fibers with Enhanced Performance in the Near-Infrared Region.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Polymer optical fibers (POFs) are lightweight, fatigue-tolerant, and suitable for local area networks, automobiles, aerospace, smart textiles, supercomputers, and servers. However, commercially available POFs are exclusively fabricated using synthetic polymers derived from nonrenewable resources. Recently, attempts have been made to fabricate biocompatible and biopolymeric optical fibers. However, their limitations in mechanical performance, thermal stability, and optical properties foil practical applications in waveguiding. Here, we report a comprehensive study of the preparation of biopolymer optical fibers with tailored mechanical strength, thermal properties, and their short-distance applications. Specifically, we use alginate as one of the key components with methylcelluloses to promote readily scalable wet spinning at ambient conditions to fabricate 21 combinations of composite fibers. The fibers display high maximum strain (up to 58%), Young's modulus (up to 11 GPa), modulus of toughness (up to 63 MJ/m
