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

The disposal of chromium (Cr) containing wastewater in surface water bodies without prior treatment is a serious threat to humans, animals, and plants. A novel nanocomposite (CSB/ZnO) of cotton stalks biochar (CSB) with ZnO nanoparticles was synthesized for the removal of Cr (VI) ions from contaminated water at batch scale. The impact of adsorbent dosage (1-4 g/L), initial Cr (VI) levels (25-200 mg/L), pH (2-8), and interaction time (0-180 min) was assessed for the removal of Cr (VI) from contaminated water. The Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and point of zero charge (PZC) characterization showed successful impregnation of ZnO particles on CSB with improved surface characteristics. The maximum adsorption (q
