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

Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has been increasing the consumption of some drugs, such as chloroquine (CQN) and dipyrone (DIP), which are continuously discharged into water resources through domestic sewage treatment systems. The presence of these drugs in water bodies is worrisome due to their high toxicity, which makes crucial their monitoring and removal, especially by means of advanced technologies. Given this scenario, a new adsorbent material was synthesized through the combination of babassu coconut activated carbon and graphene oxide (GAC-GO). This study was evaluated in batch adsorption processes, aiming at the treatment of water contaminated with CQN and DIP. Characterization analyzes using physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques indicated that the GAC-GO functionalization was successfully performed. The equilibrium time of the adsorption process was 18 and 12 h for CQN and DIP, respectively. Kinetic and isothermal data better fitted to pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models for both drugs. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the process is endothermic and the maximum adsorption capacities of CQN and DIP were 37.65 and 62.43 mg g
