Comments on "Removal of methylene blue dye using nano zerovalent iron, nanoclay and iron impregnated nanoclay - a comparative study" by M. M. Tarekegn, R. M. Balakrishnan, A. M. Hiruy and A. H. Dekebo,
Article in RSC advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The study mentioned in the title of this comment paper contains some calculations/results that disagree with some basic chemistry concepts. These misleading calculations include (i) both kinetic and isotherm modelling through linear equations, and (ii) calculating the thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption processes. Thus, we run through the correct way to make these calculations. In our opinion, it is very confusing to continue to disseminate erroneous methods as applied in the original paper.
