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 phytoremediation potential of Myriophyllum spicatum L. has been well documented for bulk-sized heavy metals, including zinc (Zn). However, there is no information on the removal efficiencies of this aquatic macrophyte for zinc oxide nanoparticles contaminated waters. Therefore, the present study was aimed to compare the removal efficiency of M. spicatum in two different media: tap water and pond water. Results were evaluated by comparing percentage (%) removal and goodness-of-fit to regression models. Plants were exposed to 0.8 and 2 ppm nano-sized Zn for 1, 4, and 7 days. The zinc concentrations were monitored using ICP-MS. The %removal in tap water ranged between 29.5 and 70.3%, and slightly higher in pond water. Modeling results confirmed that there was a strong relationship between removal performance and exposure duration. Time-dependent removal shows that %removal shows no further progress after 4 days. Our results also indicate that planktonic communities in pond water might play an important role in the fate of ZnO NPs.
