Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Silk/Bentonite Clay Composite for Heavy Metal Removal From Aqueous Solution.
Article in Frontiers in chemistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Bentonite clay is an abundant and low-cost adsorbent and silk fibroin, a naturally occurring protein, and both have a low capacity to remove lethal heavy metal ions from aqueous solution separately. To enhance their metal adsorbing capacity, a new silk fibroin-based bentonite composite was prepared for improving water quality by eliminating heavy metal ions i.e., lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium. The as-synthesized composite shows better metal sorption capacity than either of them alone. To analyze their structural properties and characteristic functional groups, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used. The specific surface area for silk/bentonite composite was about 4 m
