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

Plastic waste accumulation poses a pressing environmental challenge, calling for sustainable routes to convert it into value-added products under mild conditions. Conventional Lewis acid-mediated upcycling relies on hydride transfer and carbocation formation but requires ionic liquids to stabilize intermediates and sacrificial alkylating agents like isopentane to overcome thermodynamic barriers. Here, we present a solar-driven, sacrificial-agent-free approach for catalytic plastic upcycling using plasmonic black gold nanostructures. Under visible-to-NIR irradiation, black gold activates
