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

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline super engineering plastic with exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical integrity. The rapidly growing consumption of PPS underscores an urgent demand for sustainable recycling strategies to promote circularity in the PPS industry. Chemical upcycling offers a compelling and sustainable strategy for plastic waste valorization. Herein, an efficient iron-photocatalyzed chemical upcycling of PPS plastics with 1,2-dichloroethane at room temperature is reported, affording recuperative chlorinated arylene monomer and valuable chloroacetic acid. Mechanistic investigation demonstrates chlorinated phenylthiyl species as the key intermediates generated from chlorine radical to mediate aryl C─S bond cleavage. The protocol establishes broad compatibility of eighteen commercial PPS resins and composite waste with gram-scaled efficiency and effective degradation for mixed-plastic matrix, offering a transformative paradigm for super engineering plastic upcycling.
