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

Pharmaceuticals are detected at trace levels in water. Their adverse effects on human health and aquatic ecosystems required novel pharmaceutical remediation methods for treating wastewater effluents. Layer double hydroxide (LDH) is abundantly available by simple preparation methods and with low costs. The extensive use of antibiotics nowadays leads to increasing the appearance of antibiotic resistance between bacteria and decreasing the effectiveness of antibiotics. In this work, the removal of one of these antibiotics named "oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC)" by Zn/Fe LDH was investigated. The Zn/Fe LDH before and after adsorption was characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR analysis, zeta potential, particle size, BET surface area, HRTEM, FESEM, and XPS. The effects of different factors on the OTC adsorption performance were investigated. The removal percentage of OTC was 77.23% by Zn/Fe LDH. The isothermal and kinetic study of OTC adsorption was carried out at pH 6 at 25 °C using different models. The adsorption mechanism was investigated by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic simulations.
