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

Copper wastewater from industry is detrimental to plants and environment. There are some problems in the aspects of high efficiency and energy saving during treatment of wastewater. In present work, the novel double iron electrodes technique of pulse-alternating current was applied to flocculate copper in wastewater. The process parameters of the copper removal in wastewater were studied in the developed electrochemical reactors. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy were used to characterize the electrocoagulations. The copper residue in the effluent was measured by UV spectrophotometry. The adsorption mechanism was described through the isothermal adsorption curves of copper during flocculation processes. The simulated wastewater containing 100 mg dm
