Acetylation of Never-Dried Wood via Diffusion-Driven Solvent Exchange.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 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
Acetylation is one of the most widely applied chemical modification methods for enhancing the dimensional stability and durability of wood. In this work, we investigate a diffusion-driven solvent-exchange method for acetylating never-dried Scots pine wood, eliminating the energy-intensive drying typically required before wood acetylation. Results from two-dimensional confocal Raman microspectroscopic imaging, coupled with multivariate data analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography, suggest a uniform distribution of acetyl groups within the cell walls and increased lignin acetylation using the solvent-exchange method. The uniform distribution of acetyl groups and increased lignin modification in the cell corners and the middle lamella resulted in less shrinkage and much-improved antiswelling efficiency at the macroscale. Overall, this diffusion-driven solvent-exchange pretreatment provides a uniform, direct acetylation of never-dried wood, bypassing the conventional oven- or kiln-drying step, with targeted lignin modification playing a crucial role in controlling wood-water interactions.
