Challenging Pretreatment Technologies of Lignocellulosic Biomass.
Review in Advances in biochemical engineering/biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lignocellulosic biomass, derived from agricultural and forestry waste, is a promising renewable resource for biofuels and biochemicals. However, its recalcitrant structure, which is comprised of intertwined cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, hinders efficient conversion, necessitating pretreatment as a crucial step to disrupt this matrix and enhance enzymatic hydrolysis. Pretreatment methods are categorized based on their target components: hemicellulose depolymerization strategies such as acid pretreatment (e.g., inorganic, organic, and solid acids) and physicochemical methods like steam explosion improve sugar release but face challenges like inhibitor formation and high energy costs; lignin removal strategies, including alkaline, oxidative, and biological pretreatments, effectively degrade lignin yet struggle with reagent recovery and low working efficiency; and selective fractionation strategies, such as organosolv, ionic liquids, and deep eutectic solvents, aim for high-value utilization but encounter issues with solvent sustainability and costs. Emerging technologies like dry acid pretreatment with biodetoxification (DryPB), ammonia-based methods, and densifying lignocellulosic biomass with chemicals (DLC) offer improved efficiency, reduced waste, and high product yields, highlighting the need for future optimization in cost-effectiveness, selectivity, and integration for scalable biorefineries.
