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

In this study, we tested the use of the bipolar electrodes to enhance electrochemical degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in an undivided, flow-through electrochemical reactor. The bipolar electrode forms when an electrically conductive material polarizes between feeder electrodes that are connected to a direct current source and, therefore, creates an additional anode/cathode pair in the system. We hypothesize that bipolar electrodes will generate additional oxidation/reduction zones to enhance TCE degradation. The graphite cathode followed by graphite anode sequence were operated without a bipolar electrode as well as with one and two bipolar graphite electrodes. The system without bipolar electrodes degraded 29% of TCE while the system with one and two bipolar electrodes degraded 38% and 66% of TCE, respectively. It was found that the removal mechanism for TCE in bipolar mode includes hydrodechlorination at the feeder cathode, and oxidation through reaction with peroxide. The results show that the bipolar electrodes presence enhance TCE removal efficiency and rate and imply that they can be used to improve electrochemical treatment of contaminated groundwater.
