Novel plantain peel activated carbon-supported zinc oxide nanocomposites (PPAC-ZnO-NC) for adsorption of chloroquine synthetic pharmaceutical used for COVID-19 treatment.
Article in Biomass conversion and biorefinery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Chloroquine has been reported as an effective drug for the treatment of COVID-19 and with the rise in its administration and continued use, metabolites of chloroquine invariably find their way into the environment. There are many concerns recently on the presence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment, hence the need for environmental remediation via effective adsorbent. Plantain peel activated carbon-supported zinc oxide (PPAC-ZnO) nanocomposite was prepared and characterized using physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The rate of uptake of chloroquine by PPAC-ZnO nanocomposite was investigated by batch technique under different operational parameters. PPAC-ZnO nanocomposite was characterized by various physicochemical techniques by S
