Biochar-A Filler in "Bioplastics" for Horticultural Applications.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Biochar is attracting a lot of attention as it is considered a novel, renewable, and bio-based filler that can be used specifically for developing and manufacturing "bioplastics" for growing plants such as mulch films and plant accessories. The manufacturing of "bioplastics" uses biopolymers but also various additives such as fillers, which are primarily used to replace some of the expensive biopolymers in a biocomposite composition and/or to improve the mechanical properties of the final products. This review aims to demonstrate the applications of biochar as a filler in bioplastics, specifically for horticultural uses; summarize the most recent findings; and discuss future research directions. With this review, we address some of the most important issues related to the requirements for biochar as a filler for bio-based and biodegradable plastics, the effect of biochar properties and loading rates on the properties of biocomposites, and the suitability of biochar for manufacturing of "bioplastics" for horticultural use. We also discuss the advantages as well as challenges and limitations to the use of biochar for manufacturing bio-based and biodegradable plastics for horticultural uses.
