Kinetics and mechanistic analysis of particles decontamination from abattoir wastewater (ABW) using novel Fish Bone Chito-protein (FBC).
Review in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
Wastewater from slaughter houses (abattoirs) has been a problem in Nigeria. It is complex and difficult to treat. The potentials of novel Fish Bone Chito-protein (FBC) successfully extracted through de-proteinization of Fish Bone Flour (FBF) were explored for the reduction of particle load in abattoir wastewater. Extracted FBC sample was analysed via proximate analysis and instrumental characterizations viz: X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotoscopic Analysis (FTIR). Influences of coagulant dosage, pH, settling time and temperature were studied. The rate of particle uptake was studied using seven kinetic models. Proximate characterization of FBC revealed that it contains 24% protein, 43% carbohydrate and other components in trace values. Before treatment, abattoir wastewater contains (563 mg/L) suspended particles in excess of the national discharge standard. 92% of the particle load was removed after the coagulation treatment with 1.5g of FBC, after 35 min at pH 2, and 40 °C. BOD removal of 58% was also obtained at the same conditions. The best kinetics model selection was done between Pseudo Second Order (PSO) and fractional power (FP) kinetic model via one way statistical mean comparison using ANOVA and turkey pairwise p-values. The ANOVA p-value for pseudo second order (0.001) was found to be ˂ 0.005 (model significance alpha value). Also, the difference between the adjusted and predicted R
