Modification of microcrystalline cellulose with acrylamide under microwave irradiation and its application as flocculant.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Grafting polyacrylamide (PAM) chains onto microparticles may combine the advantages of the flocculation property of the former and the fast sedimentation of the later to realize better flocculation performance. In this work, inexpensive microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) microparticles, and monomer of acrylamide (AM) were mixed, and then irradiated under microwave. The obtained material was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, and the results demonstrated successful modification of MCC with AM on the particle surface. The modification procedure has been carefully investigated to obtain an optimum preparation condition. Kaolin suspension was selected as a model to evaluate the flocculation properties of the obtained AM-MCC. Our results indicate that the AM-MCC with the highest grafting ratio of 95.5% exhibits the best flocculation performance, which is even better than that of PAM, and the turbidity can be decreased to 1.4% of the naked kaolin suspension within 2.5 min. Therefore, this work provides a low cost strategy to prepare biodegradable AM-MCC, which may have promising potential application in the water treatment and other fields.
