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

This study focused on enhanced electrokinetic remediation of Cr(VI) in real contaminated soil. The citric acid (CA) as the electrolyte and Fe(II) released from zero-valent iron (ZVI) under anoxic conditions functioned as the main reducer. They were used for overcoming the high insoluble Cr(VI) fraction in real contaminated soil and high Cr(VI) residue in acidic soil near the anode simultaneously. The synergism of CA and ZVI is that CA helps the release of Cr(VI) to react with the generated Fe(II) and alleviates the hindrance of Fe and Cr co-precipitates in electromigration of Cr; meanwhile, the end product Fe(III) from ZVI catalyzed the Cr(VI) reduction by CA. The removal of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) was significantly improved in real contaminated soil. The optimum result (82.86%) was obtained at a voltage gradient of 2.5 V/cm after 12-day remediation with a 10 g ZVI dose when the catholyte and anolyte were 0.2 mol/L and 0.1 mol/L CA, respectively. This configuration has a significant improvement in overcoming the current obstacles for Cr(VI) electrokinetic remediation from real contaminated soil and prospects for large-scale practical applications.
