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 work aimed to remove sulfate and acidity from mine-impacted water (MIW) via electrocoagulation (EC), a technique which stands as an advanced alternative to chemical coagulation in pollutant removal from wastewaters. The multiple electrochemical reactions occurring in the aluminum anode and the stainless steel cathode surfaces can form unstable flakes of metal hydroxysulfate complexes, causing coagulation, flocculation, and floatation; or, adsorption of sulfate on sorbents originated from the electrochemical process can occur, depending on pH value. Batch experiments in the continuous mode of exposition using different current densities (35, 50, and 65 A m
