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

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) emerge as promising biodegradable polymers for sustainable applications, yet predicting their biodegradation behavior under different environmental conditions remains challenging. In this study, we propose a novel data-driven computational framework for predicting biodegradation-induced weight/mass loss in PHA-based materials. A comprehensive database of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)-based formulations was manually curated by systematically collecting and harmonizing material descriptors, environmental parameters, and experimental biodegradation outcomes from laboratory- and large-scale studies conducted in soil, marine, freshwater, and compost environments. Multiple regression-based quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were developed and rigorously validated, demonstrating high predictive performance and strong correlations between polymer structure, environmental conditions and degradation behavior. "Exposure time", "degradation environment" and "hydroxybutyrate (HB) ratio" were identified as the most important features for weight loss. Finally, the predictive model was integrated into the Jaqpot computational platform, enabling open access and facilitating data-driven assessment and design of biodegradable polymer systems.
