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

Selenium (Se) contamination in natural waters impacted by anthropogenic activities is becoming a prevalent and widespread problem. Investigation of novel, low-cost, and sustainable food-waste-sourced adsorbents for Se removal has largely been unexplored. Here, we report on the Se(IV) biosorption from a liquid solution using three waste-derived/low-cost biosorbents, namely citrus peels (bare), Ca-alginate gel beads, and Ca-alginate-citrus peels composite beads (Ca-alginate@citrus). The entrapment of citrus peels by Ca-alginate not only provided a structural framework for the citrus peel particles but also preserved the high-efficiency Se(IV) removal property of the citrus peels. From the modeling results, it was established that Se(IV) biosorption followed the fixed-film diffusion model, along with pseudo-second-order kinetics. Investigation of pH impacts along with initial dosing of sorbent/sorbate demonstrated that all of the three biosorbents exhibited optimum biosorption of Se(IV) at pH 6-8, 50-75 mg·L
