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

Polymer sponges with molecular recognition provide a facile approach to water purification and industrial separation with easy operation. Herein, a thiolated polyethyleneimine (PEI)-based polymer sponge was prepared through cryo-polymerization of PEI, followed by grafting of PEI and then post-modification of the amine functionalities present within the hyperbranched structure with methyl mercaptoacetate, which afford high density of thiol functional groups on the surface of the sponge. The developed sponge was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and element analysis, and the adsorption kinetic and isotherm studies were conducted in detail. The sponge presents a remarkable maximum adsorption capacity of 2899.7 mg/g, which can be attributed to its high density of thiol functionalities. The sponge also shows excellent selectivity toward Hg
