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

Industrial wastewater often contains heavy metals, like lead, copper, nickel, cadmium, zinc, mercury, arsenic, and chromium. Overdoses of heavy metals will impose a severe threat to human health. Adsorption is the most efficient way of wastewater treatment for eliminating heavy metals. A novel material-reusable hydrogel-based adsorbent was developed in overcoming the regeneration issue. The polyethylene glycol diacrylate-3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt (PEGDA-SMP) hydrogel performed an ion-exchange rate to remove heavy metals from wastewater in 30-120 min. The adsorption capacity of PEGDA-SMP increases the increasing pH of a solution, in which pH 5 reaches the maximum. Pseudo-second-order adsorption and the Langmuir adsorption model can fully describe the adsorption properties of PEGDA-SMP for heavy metals. PEGDA-SMP prefers to exchange Pb
