Ultraviolet photolysis of metformin: mechanisms of environmental factors, identification of intermediates, and density functional theory calculations.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
As a commonly used anti-diabetic drug, metformin (MEF) is frequently detected in different water bodies which pose a potential threat to human health and the ecological environment. In this study, oxidative degradation of MEF under ultraviolet (UV) light was studied, and its influencing factors, photolysis mechanism, and intermediates identification carried out as well. The results showed that the hydroxyl radical contributed 73% during the 6 h MEF photolysis process among the reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, triplet excited-state organic matter and singlet oxygen also played a role in the photolysis process. The reaction rates of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen with MEF are (6.45 ± 0.4) × 10
