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

Mining activities are the main cause of generation of the voluminous sludge waste, loaded with metals precipitated from the treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) and this is always disposed to the landfill. This study aimed at characterizing and suggesting the reusability potential of AMD sludge to reduce the environmental problem caused by its accumulation so that it could become a valuable material. The sludge was obtained after treating a synthetic AMD with a green oxidant sodium ferrate (VI) (Na
