Electron Beam Crosslinking as a Strategy for the Synthesis of Pectin/PVA Aerogels: Effect of Concentration and Radiation Dose.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Radiation techniques represent an innovative and alternative method for polymer gelation or crosslinking; their application in aerogel research has not been extensively investigated. The irradiation of polymer solutions, either with or without a crosslinking agent, may result in stable polymer gels with a highly developed mesoporous structure. In this study, the effect of the pectin polysaccharide concentration, the presence of PVA, and the dose of ionizing radiation (27-58 kGy) were systematically investigated, particularly with respect to the structural, textural, and mechanical properties. The pectin/PVA and PVA were crosslinked in aqueous solution via ionizing radiation using an electron beam. The results demonstrated that the radiation crosslinking of a hydrophilic synthetic polymer in the presence of natural polysaccharides, such as pectin, is an effective strategy for engineering porous materials with a controlled structure, namely aerogels, of good stability, and favorable functional properties. The resulting composite aerogels were characterized by a BET-determined specific surface area of 200-241 m
