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

background2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-DCPA acid) is a toxic herbicide. Earlier studies to remove 2,4-DCPA acid from water used expensive and/or toxic reagents, resulting in the formation of toxic organic by-products (Org-BPs). This study evaluates the removal of 2,4-DCPA acid from aqueous media using uncatalysed and catalytic ozonation with Fe doped with Ni and Co respectively.

methodsMixed metal oxides of Ni and Co loaded on Fe respectively, prepared by co-precipitation and physical mixing were used as catalyst for ozone facilitated oxidation degradation of 2,4-DCPA acid. Their surface properties were determined by employing SEM, BET and NH

resultsConversion of 2,4-DCPA acid increased from 38% in acidic water to 73% in basic water, however, only 26% of the total carbon was removed and 9.5% in the form of Org-BPs. With 7:3 Fe:Ni (Co-ppt) catalyst (surface area 253 m

conclusionIn uncatalysed ozonation degradation of 2,4-DCPA acid improved with the increase in hydroxide ion concentration. Ozonation in presence of 7:3 Fe:Ni (Co-ppt) catalyst resulted in highest activity for dechlorination, TOC removal and Org-BP minimization, thus improving the quality of contaminated water.
