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

The rapid growth in world population brings with it the need for improvement in the current technology for water purification, in order to provide adequate potable water to everyone. Although an advanced oxidation process has been used to purify wastewater, its action mechanism is still not clear. Therefore, in the present study we treat dye-polluted water with gamma rays and dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. We study the wastewater treatment efficiency of gamma rays and DBD plasma at different absorbed doses, and at different time intervals, respectively. Methyl orange and methylene blue dyes are taken as model dyes. To understand the effects of environment and humidity on the decolorization of these dyes, we use various gas mixtures in the DBD plasma reactor. In the plasma reactor, we use the ambient air and ambient air + other gas (oxygen, nitrogen, and argon) mixtures, respectively, for the treatment of dyes. Additionally, we study the humidity effect on the decolorization of dyes with air plasma. Moreover, we also perform plasma simulation in different environment conditions, to understand which major radicals are generated during the plasma treatments, and determine their probable densities.
